During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 267 is scheduled to fill the gap of Liu Shishi
After returning to China, without taking two days' rest, Wei Jin received news from Chen Xi that the post-production of "Passengers" could be completed in about a week. The implication was that he was informed that he could choose a schedule.

Although he has confidence in his own movie, he still has to be responsible for his investors. Wei Jin also plans to pick a good schedule. He also wants to see where his upper limit is in the current market environment.

After arriving at the office of China Film Group Corporation, Wei Jin couldn't help but say hello to Han Sanping who was working at his desk.

"Director Han, you are in good spirits."

"Hey, Oscar-winning director, are you willing to give up the prosperity of North America?"

When Han Sanping saw Wei Jin arriving, he stopped what he was doing and joked.

"Director Han, if you say that, I will go back."

The Wei and Jin Dynasties were not used to this old Bideng and wanted to leave.

"Hey, are you kidding? Why are you more serious than someone in the system like me?"

Han Sanping took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment, and then started talking about business.

"That's right, Xiao Ma is new to the film industry, so I don't dare to make a thorn in your side. Only by having the right to speak can we ensure the quality of the film, so let's do it."

After thinking about it, Wei Jin made a choice. He hasn't tried it on National Day yet, and there may be unexpected results.

Taking the form on the table, Wei Jin sat on the sofa and started browsing.

There are quite a few familiar names, such as "Three Smiles: The Talented Man and the Beautiful Lady", "Tang Bo Hu Spots Autumn Fragrance 2", "Witnessed by All", and "Chill".
These two movies produced by Jiahe are scheduled to be released on June 6.18 and August 8 respectively.

Han Sanping is still very satisfied with the schedule chosen by Wei Jin. For domestic big-budget movies, it is best to minimize internal friction. Moreover, China Film is also an investor. Of course, he hopes that the higher the box office, the better.

"Okay, I'll let you know when the casting is done. I just hope the old guys don't cause any trouble this time."

The former mainly hypes up the topic of Father's Day, while the latter mainly enjoys the afterglow of summer movies.

"Hey, aren't you young and ignorant?"

"By the way, as for the role, I will arrange for someone to come over for an audition when the time comes. Don't worry, I won't let you go through the back door. I'll just give you a chance."

"I'm still thinking about it. I have a lot of ideas in my mind, but I just don't know which one to shoot first."

"Hahaha"
-
When Wei Jin arrived at the company from China Film Group, Ning Hao knocked on the door and came in before Wei Jin's buttocks were warm.

"Is it about "Passengers"? It's almost time. Here is the schedule. Take a look for yourself."

"Huh? Pony doesn't have any resources. It's better to recruit them than China Film or Wanda, or even Bernard and Fiber Optic."

Wei Jin believed that Han Sanping's words were definitely not a joke. He rolled his eyes at him and replied angrily:
"Director Han, you can't handle the donkeys of the production team like this."

Amid the controversy, the movie's box office has been soaring. It has exceeded 4 million in four days of release. It is looking like another movie with a box office of over 6000 million.

"Huh? The budget has reached 50 million? How will the remaining shares be arranged?"

"How about you be more diligent and take pictures of them all?"

Wei Jin couldn't understand Ning Hao's operation, and there was no shortage of investors. Why would he choose something that would not help the movie?
"The E-China Film Company rejected it."

As a director, Wei Jin can understand a director's desire to control the crew, so he only provides opportunities to his artists without forcing them.

Among them, the one that attracted Wei Jin's most attention was "The Great Earthquake" by Feng Dapao. Even if he didn't have the memory of his previous life, he knew that this kind of subject and its investors had an inherent advantage, and it was destined to be officially reserved, which was not good. deal with.

Wei Jin was a little surprised by Ning Hao's courage. After being disturbed by the review, he invested so much in the first shot of his comeback. However, according to his cautious character, he must find other people to spread the risk.

Ning Hao obviously thought carefully about it. Wei and Jin were all right, and he invested in this project for the sake of face and favor.

Ning Hao's face was calm, and he was not embarrassed at all by being rejected. He could understand Han Sanping's choice. After all, "No Man's Land" is still a bad deal, and China Film is a state-owned enterprise with many restrictions. Han Sanping cannot support him insistently. .

A large number of audiences walked into the theater with "feelings".

"Don't worry, I'll definitely get through it."
-
In the movie market, the highly anticipated "The Treasure Box" was released.

But Wei Jin's movies can't make money, so Han Sanping certainly hopes that he will continue to do so.

"Fifteen million for the studio, and another 20 million for Galloping Horses."

"As for several others, we have also talked about it, but I am not as generous as you. They will more or less interfere in the creation. Only Galloping Pony, Zhong Lifang promised not to interfere in the film production at all and only sent one supervisor."

"However, you have been idle for more than half a year, have you thought of any new projects this year?"

Han Sanping was more concerned about the cause of Wei and Jin than himself.

What's a bit puzzling is that this film has a very strange reputation. There are a lot of curses but also a lot of praises. It's really hard to judge whether it's good or bad.

"Director Han, let's set it on September 9th."

"Okay, you finally stop staring at the big directors."

When Wei Jin heard this, he nodded to express his understanding. It was also his fault. Currently, movies are still a high-risk industry. Even Lao Mouzi will be interfered by the management, let alone Ning Hao?
Only he, who is both the capital and the director, and has never failed since his debut, creating a golden myth, can make other investors blindly trust him.

In fact, Wei Jin almost makes one commercial film a year, and he is already regarded as a model worker in the country. In terms of efficiency alone, only Feng Dapao can probably compete with him.

The Lunar New Year film already has "If You Are the One 2" and "The Orphan of Zhao". Although both of them have not been finished filming, it does not prevent the two of them from occupying the seats in advance. Moreover, it has been too long, and he can't wait any longer.

Wei Jin is really not Versailles. He really hasn't decided whether to choose a commercial film or hit Venice.

Wei Jin's face was a little embarrassed. In the first few years after his debut, he was indeed a bit ungrateful and acted too aggressively. It's no wonder that some people in the industry said he was overbearing.

"Junior brother, I've made preparations here. Just waiting for the script to be reviewed, 3% will be left to you, 1500 million."

The relationship was so familiar that Ning Hao was too lazy to be polite. He sat on the sofa and said straight to the point:

However, these words left Han Sanping speechless, and then he began to test again:

This makes people in the industry a little strange. Is it so easy to reach over 100 million yuan now?

"Mr. Wei, the Asian International Film Festival has sent an invitation."

"Huh? Isn't this already the beginning? What are you asking me to do? Present an award? Turn it down."

Since the "October Siege" led to the revival of Jiahe, the Xiangjiang circle began to have frequent contact with the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Two days ago, I was invited as a guest at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and now it’s the Hong Kong International Film Festival, so I made a good plan.

I just saw that the mainland film and television industry was becoming more and more prosperous, and I wanted to use the big ship of Shanhe Media to integrate into the mainland circle as soon as possible. It's a pity that these people are mixed, and many have crooked buttocks. Wei Jin has no interest in playing with them.

In terms of stance, Wei Jin was very resolute. Even the cast list of Jiahe's project was sent to him for personal review.

Even the contracted directors under the company were specially greeted by Wei Jin. In terms of film casting, Xiangjiang actors must be carefully selected, and Wanwan almost did not need to consider it.
-
In the special screening room of Shanhe Building, Wei Jin, Chen Xi and others watched the movie together.

The total running time of "Passengers" is two hours, which is relatively long among Wei and Jin movies.

However, after reading it, Wei Jin found that it still needed to be adjusted. When he made the rough cut, he really didn't think it through well.

"Don't put the guest scene at the front of the movie. The scene starts with Director Han and ends with me. As for the time, let's keep it to 3 minutes."

Placing it at the beginning of the film can attract the audience's attention. Secondly, it is also the time to play the credits without having any impact on the main content of the film.

However, this small move would take the editor at least two hours, and Wei Jin didn't have time to wait here.

"Chen Xi, please send someone to the film bureau this afternoon."

"Okay, Mr. Wei, but we still need to come up with a plan for advertising."

Chen Xi sounded a little emotional. As soon as the film was completed, many brands had already contacted her. As the time for the film was approaching, the quotes became higher and higher, as if they were afraid of being robbed of the opportunity. This is not the case in China. But it's the only one.

"Well, how much is the quote now?"

Unlike Feng Dapao, who can receive more than ten or twenty advertisements in a movie, including in-film advertisements and product placements, Wei Jin only accepts pre-roll advertisements, and usually no more than three, which also makes other investors feel a little distressed. , but helpless.

"The highest one has been opened to 1200 million."

As if seeing that Wei Jin had no mood swings, Chen Xi added another sentence.

"It's a single ad"

"Huh? One?"

Wei Jin was a little surprised now. The three love patch advertisements earned at least 30 million. Is this probably more expensive than Feng Dapao's dozen advertisements? These big dog owners are really rich.

"Okay, you can screen it. The brand should match the theme of the movie."

Wei Jin specifically mentioned that he remembered the previous "The Martian", especially the sanitary napkin brand that came to quote prices, and everyone was numb.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I understand."
-
There were no surprises in the review of "Passengers", and it successfully obtained a release permit.

All production companies are now waiting for Shanhe Media to announce the release date of this film, and they seem to be more active than Wei Jin himself.

It's no wonder that the end of several great directors is still in sight, and they are really afraid of being beaten.

The media is also adding to the fire, and the headline of the report directly tore off this fig leaf:

"'Passengers' has received a public release permit, and some unscheduled films may be considered to be staggered to the same schedule."

Wei and Jin's deterrents don't stop there. Even those that have been scheduled may want to consider adjusting the schedule.

No, the media with good intentions went directly to interview Feng Dapao and asked if it was possible for "Earthquake" to be rescheduled. The latter looked at the camera with a livid face.

"The release date of "Earthquake" will not be changed. I think other films should consider avoiding me."

Wei Jin did not let everyone wait too long. After all, the dragon label had been obtained, which meant that there were no more variables.

The next day, Shanhe Media announced the news that "Passengers" will be scheduled for National Day.

Many movies originally scheduled for the National Day period have either been advanced or postponed. Only a small number of low-cost movies still stick to their schedules. This is because they are counting on Wei Jin's new movies to drive the market, and they are drinking some soup along with them.

Jiang Wen was also very concerned about the schedule. Seeing that Wei Jin selected the National Day schedule, he immediately announced that "Let the Bullets Fly" will be scheduled for mid-December, aiming for the Lunar New Year schedule.

This guy's meaning is very obvious. Domestic directors, except for Wei Jin, he doesn't look down on. He doesn't know what Chen Poet and Feng Dapao think--
Wei Jin was a little surprised when he received Liu Shishi's call.

Since the premiere of "Super Body", this girl has never contacted him. He thought the fish had jumped out of the pond.

However, Wei Jin would not refuse the beauty's invitation. He arrived at the Golden House by a familiar route and saw Master Liu already standing tall in the house.

Since I have chosen this place, it is inevitable that I will be lingering.

Liu Shishi seemed to be particularly powerful today, and he actually lasted three rounds before losing.

"Master, shouldn't you be busy with publicity recently? Why did you think of contacting me?"

Wei Jin asked in surprise, "Gong Lock Heart Jade" has been broadcast on Mango Channel in the middle of this month.

The premiere ratings were as high as 2.98, and the share of the show was as high as 14.24%. So far, the peak ratings have reached 4.48, and the share of the show has reached a maximum of 24.28%.

According to Mango Channel's forecast, there is no problem in the subsequent ratings exceeding 5, which means that it is another hit TV series. The entire crew, led by director Lin Yufen, has intensively arranged two and three rounds of promotional activities.

"I miss you, can't I?"

After being nourished by the man, Master Liu's whole body was glowing, but what moved Wei Jin even more was the confidence on this little girl's face.

But if you think about it, you will understand that as the saying goes, beauty nourishes people, the popularity of "Gong Lock Heart Jade" made Liu Shishi's national popularity rise instantly.

Coupled with the song "Providence of Love", although her singing skills are average, she can't stand the degree of brainwashing of this song, which is comparable to the theme song of "The Temptation of Going Home", which really helped her expand her popularity a lot.

Nowadays, Liu Shishi is definitely a popular star in China with his roles as Qingchuan in "The Heart of the Palace" and Nightshade in "Sword and Sword III". Bai Bin, who debuted with "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and reached the top with "Myth", can be said to be a popular star in the country. They are so evenly matched that the two are even called by netizens as the strongest contenders for the next Four Little Girls.

"Of course. To be honest, I miss you too."

What Wei Jin said was not a lie. Although there was no emotion at all, the little girl in front of him had a simple mind and it was quite relaxing to be with her.

"Then why don't you contact me?"

Liu Shishi was very happy after hearing the man's words, which at least showed that she was not uncompetitive at all.

"You know, I can't give you what you want."

"Then just like now, can't you just take time to spend time with me now and then?"

Although Liu Shishi has gained confidence, her attitude is still very low. She knows that this is a long-term battle.

Girls are talking about this, what can Wei Jin do? We can only stand up and fight again to show our sincerity.

That night, Liu Shishi, who had been empty for several months, was filled to the brim.
