During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 279 Yang Mi’s self-destruction hidden rules project is launched
As time entered mid-July, the promotion of "Earthquake" suddenly began to gain momentum.

Relying on the official media, TV stations, and even CCTV to build momentum, it was really overwhelming.

The official media even issued an "audience initiative", hoping that the majority of movie fans and audiences can go to the cinema to support "Earthquake" and not forget the disaster.

"This kind of treatment is really enviable."

In Wei Jin's office, Wang Changtian said with some emotion that there was no way not to be jealous of such a free publicity channel as "The Great Earthquake".

"It's incomparable, and you don't even look at the producer behind it."

Wei and Jin were not surprised by this. Many themes with themes in the future would have this kind of publicity method. It was completely normal.

"But it's not fair to other movies. It's a bit unfair competition."

"Director Wang, where are you now? I can guarantee you that we will definitely take special care of the official booking of the venue and the arrangement of movies in theaters. Let's just wait and see Feng Dapao be in high spirits."

Wei Jin had read this news in his previous life and knew the box office of this movie, but he didn't know whether it could reach new heights in this life after the expansion of his theater chain and the cultivation of audiences.

To be honest, an innate spiritual treasure like Liu Yan is really the best in bed, and there are so many tricks he can play with.

"Row."
-
After the party, Wei Jin and Liu Yan returned to the villa.

"Brother Wei, I won't hide it from you. The cost of this film is 30 million. In terms of special effects costs, the budget is not very large. Can you give me a discount?"

"I will inform you about the special effects and charge the cost price. For details, Director Wang will ask someone to go to Shanhe Shuimo to discuss. As for the role, just inform them during the audition."

"Yeah, I understand."

At the scene, Feng Dapao and Huayi called out new goals.

"what happened?"

Liu Yan's face suddenly turned red, but thinking of his boss's inhuman physical strength, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to enjoy himself to the fullest.

""The Martian" is a mature science fiction film, but film art still needs to arouse the empathy of the audience. At this point, "Earthquake" will definitely bring a different feeling to everyone, not to mention that in two years, It’s time to take another big step forward despite the previous record.”

Seeing Liu Yan's silence, Wei Jin couldn't help but ask, wasn't there a very happy chat at the table just now?
"Oh, it just feels like time has changed and it's a little unreal."

Wei Jin had a joking expression on his face and already held the innate spiritual treasure in his hands.

But when it comes to making friends, no one would choose to be flattering and utilitarian.

"Hmm~~I'm afraid I can't handle it."

"It's normal. Isn't that how the entertainment industry is? You flatter the superiors and suppress the inferiors. But you don't need to have close friendships with these people. Just treat them like guests on the show."

Perhaps Feng Dapao was drunk because he drank half a bottle of liquor at the scene.

"Just leave these matters to the people below. There is no need for you, Director Wang, to come forward in person, right?"

Liu Yan has also been in the entertainment industry for many years. He quickly adjusted and asked another question.

"Then thank you very much, brother. I'll be the host today, how about a favor? I just happened to call Liu Yan up. Speaking of which, we haven't gotten together for a long time."

In comparison, the guy with the bald head was very off-putting. He was from the Beidian adult education class, calling each other his seniors, and he was quite thick-skinned.

Seeing that Wei Jin had made up his mind, Liu Yan stopped talking and knelt down.——
Huayi held a premiere for "Earthquake" and invitations have been sent out to the film and television industry.

"Our previous box office target was 5 million, but now the theater ticket price has changed, and 6 million is expected."

"You, you're just not confident. Let me develop your potential tonight."

Wei Jin knew clearly that Fang Fang had actually made a script from "Liao Zhai", but this time he heard it because he was riding on the popularity of "Painted Skin". Even though he had never seen it in his previous life, he could probably tell that it was a bad movie.

Wei Jin really has no interest in "Painting on the Wall", but it is a film resource after all. If his artists are willing to go, let Zhang Xu decide for himself.

It was rare for Wang Changtian to visit him in person, so Wei Jin didn't have time to practice Tai Chi with him, so he went straight to the point.

"Of course, if your brother has a role that he likes, just ask."

However, there was a lot of news at the premiere, all of which made headlines.

But really speaking, Xie Nan's personality is not always easy to please in the entertainment industry, but Bao Baldou is more adaptable.

As soon as these words came out, reporters became excited and quickly asked if there was any hope of breaking the box office of domestic movies.

To be honest, there are many good and bad artists in Fiber Optic, so Xie Nan can make Wei Jin take a high look, face himself, maintain respect while not appearing to be flattering, and have no utilitarianism.

"'Earthquake' aims to set the box office record for domestic films, and the odds of winning are not small."

"That's right, "Wall Painting" will be launched at the end of this month. I want to talk to you about the special effects."

Seeing that Wei Jin did not reply, but instead lowered his head to drink tea, Lao Wang continued to speak.

"By the way, Director Wang, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Come here today. What advice can you give me?"

Liu Yan didn't have much of a friendship with the fiber optic people, but those people were too enthusiastic. As for the reason, she knew it very well.

Wang Changtian saw that Wei and Jin were not falling into the trap, so he thought about it and spoke.

However, due to the location, very few people came to support it, and Wei and Jin were no exception.

"Huh? Why, I gave you the opportunity to enjoy the favor all to myself, and why are you rushing to share it with others?"

After the premiere, it was reported all over the Internet.

"By the way, boss, do you want to call Xiaobai and Zixuan over?"

Although she has not become a big star in recent years, the show "Run" immediately made her popular and became a national-level variety show host. In addition, as Wei Jin's first assistant, she can be matched at any time. In other words, his status in the circle is really not low.

"Director Wei Jin's two-year box office record is in jeopardy!"

"Huayi is confident that the box office of "Earthquake" will exceed 6 million, which is just around the corner!"

Wei Jin, who was immersed in editing at Shanhe Ink, noticed something was wrong with the way the two editors next to him looked at him.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask, don't hold it back."

"Mr. Wei, are you really not worried at all?"

One of the editors hesitated and asked. Not only was he concerned, there were also many concerned media downstairs.

"Is there any use in worrying? Records are meant to be broken. Besides, "Avatar" is still hanging there."

Wei Jin never cared about domestic box office records. What he wanted was domestic movie box office records, and even global movie box office records. Of course, there is no need to think about the latter. Being ranked in the top ten is considered great, but he hopes to win the former as soon as possible.

"Okay, hurry up and work hard. Try to get it done today, and I'll leave it to you later."

After more than ten days of intermittent editing, Wei Jin was finally close to finishing the first fine cut of "The Thief". The follow-up was the dubbing and soundtrack, but he didn't need to keep an eye on it anymore.

"okay."

In the golden room, Wei Jin was enjoying the warmth and softness of a woman while commenting on "Red Mansions" on TV.

"The netizens are right. The picture is indeed gloomy and seems like the underworld."

This drama has been in the works for several years and finally premiered at the end of last month. Unfortunately, it received a lot of bad reviews online.

"But at least we have met each other, and I am honored to be worthy of you. Are you serious about what you say without considering the consequences?"

These days, with the broadcast of "Red Mansions", the inside story of the original role change has also been revealed.

As one of the main creators, Yang Mi admitted in an interview with the media that the crew of "Red Mansions" did have some problems. She was replaced because she refused certain requests.

For a time, the Internet was abuzz with excitement, and the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry were once again brought to the surface.

Most of the honors have exploded. It's enough for everyone to get together and disperse. Not long after you left, Yang Mi, you started stabbing your old club in the back. It's too much.

Li Xiaowan refuted Yang Mi on behalf of the company while contacting Star Culture.

Wei Jin originally didn't want to pay attention to this matter. After all, with the departure of Zhou Xun, Yang Mi, Chen Kun and others, the decline of the Honor Society was inevitable. He had no status at all in the circle, but he couldn't bear the chief producer of "Red Mansions" The film is Han Sanping, so some respect should be given to it.

This led to tonight's stick education for Yang Mi. Some things can be said, but they cannot be said in public.

Perhaps feeling that Wei Jin's words were too harsh, Yang Mi stopped working aggrievedly and defended himself:
"Brother, I have been holding back these words for several years. It was only after a reporter asked about it this time that I couldn't hold it back any longer."

"Okay, I didn't say anything to you. Even if this matter is over, just pretend you don't know about "Red Mansions". You should also pay attention to the occasion when you speak in the future. Only by being careful with your words and actions can you succeed in the entertainment industry."

Wei Jin seemed to realize that he spoke a little too harshly, and his tone slowed down.

"I think you're just too busy. "Swordsman in the Snow" is about to start shooting. You have a lot of roles, so just stay on the set and stay there."

After four months of preparation, this drama is finally about to start filming, and this time Yang Mi got the role of the female lead.

"I understand, senior brother."

Wei Jin patted the woman's butt, and Yang Mi immediately understood and lay down.

"Hmm~~Hmm~~Hmm."

Wei Jin knew in her heart that she did not resist the unspoken rules, but the original person did not give a suitable price.

Now that Yang Mi is on his bed, he may have a higher standard, right? In this way, the classic saying "Where is my husband?" will probably not be born.

As the release of "Earthquake" approaches, the news about "Earthquake" is really overwhelming. Huayi once again emphasized that this movie is not a disaster movie and they do not make money from pain.

Industry insiders scoffed at this, saying to put it nicely, it would not be necessary to book the venue and control the scheduling of films.

At the same time, "Witness" was released, with a domestic box office of only 2.17 million and a Hong Kong box office of 3900 million.

Including the publicity and distribution, the cost of this movie is only 6000 million, which is definitely profitable. This can also be seen from Jiahe's stock price.

Less than a month after the movie was released, Jiahe's stock price had risen by 30%, and Wei and Jin felt a little unreal.

Jiahe sent an invitation to the celebration banquet as usual, but Wei Jin did not participate this time.

As the group expands, he may no longer attend movie premieres with a cost of less than 3 million and celebration banquets with a box office of only million.

In the office, assistant Zixuan is working hard under her desk. She knows that as long as she persists for a while, her boss will exercise with her.

Wei Jin was sorting out his thoughts while feeling the assistant's service.

Teacher Xue responded two days ago. She is very interested in "33 Days of Love" and has now started to make the storyboards.

For this female protagonist movie, Wei Jin has some ideas about the character, but it is not mature yet. He has to find time to communicate with Teacher Xue.

After educating Yang Mi last night, she received a call from Hunter. Warner will send a representative to discuss co-production matters early next month.

During the phone call, Hunter also reported on the results of "Now You See Me 2".

In the two weeks since its release, the movie has grossed US$2.73 million at the global box office, which seems to be inferior to the first film.

But Wei and Jin didn't care about this, as long as they could make a profit.

After retracting his thoughts, he was planning to have an office exercise with his assistant, but he got a call from the front desk and someone came to visit.

Wei Jin could only continue to hold Zixuan down in the face of Zixuan's somewhat resentful eyes.

After a while, Cao Baoping knocked on the door and walked in.

"Wei Jin, I have made you wait for a long time this time. The previous TV series was a bit sudden, which is why it took so long."

Cao Baoping is dressed in a Chinese tunic suit and has a straight head. He looks very energetic and has the temperament of a veteran cadre. He is much better than when we first met. It can be seen that the entertainment industry is really about being popular.

"It doesn't matter, good things don't come from being busy. By the way, has Teacher Cao done the budget?"

Wei Jin lit a cigarette to himself. Anyway, there was a fresh air system in the office, so he was not afraid of inhaling the guests.

The reason why Cao Baoping was considered to direct this project was that, firstly, the path was more suitable, and secondly, it was somewhat difficult to review the script, since it involved "police bad guys" after all.

As Cao Baoping's academic status, he had some connections with those people, so Wei Jin didn't need to worry about it.

"I've done it. This script doesn't have any big scenes. Ten million is enough. The premise is that we don't hire big-name actors. Actors are too expensive now."

Speaking of this, Cao Baoping felt a little emotional. Over the past year or so, the salaries of actors in the industry have really increased too much.

As a capitalist, Wei Jin also felt the same way. When filming "Painted Skin", Zhou Xun's asking price was only 100 million. For "Painted Skin 2" it only rose to 400 million, and for "The Wind" it had already risen to 600 million.

This time "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" even received a salary of 800 million yuan. Several major investors recognized this price, which is outrageous.

"Well, let's make the budget a little looser, 1500 million, and try to find talented actors as much as possible."

The current domestic market is not as good as it used to be. Wei and Jin's scripts alone can easily fetch 50 million at the box office, so there is no need to search for Sou Sou.

As for the role, Wei Jin didn't intend to interfere. She would go with Fan Bingbing if she wanted to, and she didn't force him if she didn't like him. This woman's thoughts are a little wild now.

"Okay, I'll prepare the budget again and submit the script."

Seeing that Teacher Cao had left, Wei Jin patted the assistant on the shoulder, and the latter stood up with a peach blossom face, waiting for the man's arrival.
