Chapter 288 Liu Yifei’s role play in the award-winning film
"Passengers" has become the overlord of the National Day movies with its stunning visual effects and novel ideas.

There is even a great possibility of becoming the uncrowned king of the entire month of October.

The terrifying result of 8 million in 4.36 days made the creators full of confidence in the movie box office.

Qiao Zhenyu, Gao Yuanyuan, Lei Jiayin and others all expressed their hope on Weibo that "Passengers" can exceed 1 billion in box office.

Many companies in the industry are not optimistic about this. Normally, the box office during the National Day period accounts for about 60% of a movie's box office. According to current data, the final target is about 7-8 million. There is still a big gap in the slogans issued.

But what the industry didn't expect was that after the holiday, the single-day box office of "Passengers" still remained above 30 million. This is really scary.

This means that the first domestic movie with a box office of over 1 billion is likely to be born.

However, everyone has also discovered that the single-day box office capacity of the movie market has indeed expanded a lot. What this means is very clear to the industry.

Domestic movies seem to have truly entered the blockbuster era
Wei Jin was a little surprised when he received the audition invitation from Lao Mouzi to the company.

"Isn't it said that "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" are all biased towards newcomers?"

This is the news revealed by Lao Mouzi at the premiere of "Passengers". Wei Jin believes that he will not slap himself in the face.

"Mr. Wei, I heard that there was a disagreement between Director Zhang and Zhang Weiping. The latter wanted to force actresses into the job. But for some reason, the remaining supporting roles were auditioned publicly."

Wei Jin understood as soon as he heard this, and Zhang Weiping began to interfere with Lao Mouzi again.

"Okay, let's let the artists the company is interested in give it a try."

Wei Jin didn't care about this kind of supporting role. It didn't matter whether he could be selected. The key was whether he could get Lao Mouzi's guidance.

You know, with Lao Mouzi's ability to train actors, an actress will definitely benefit a lot from his guidance.

Watching Zhang Xu leave the office, Wei Jin shook his head and laughed. After so many years of cooperation between Zhang Xu and Zhang Weiping, Zhang Weiping still acted like an elder brother and treated Lao Mouzi as a follower. He really had no self-awareness at all.

However, Zhang Weiping's amazing assist gave Wei Jin hope that the time to recruit national teachers was not too far away.
Fiber optic's "Painting Wall" has been completed, and the special effects staff of Shanhe Ink have brought back the negatives.

It's just that Wei Jin didn't expect that Wang Changtian would come to visit.

"Brother Wei, thank you this time. Your employees made a lot of suggestions and helped us solve a lot of problems. It is true that a strong general has no weak soldiers, haha."

Perhaps it was due to the box office performance of "Passengers" that Pharaoh seemed to be in a good mood.

"Using money to do things, Mr. Wang is serious."

The visitor was a guest. Wei Jin asked his secretary to make tea, and the two of them sat down in the reception area.

"I wonder why Director Wang came here today?"

Wei Jin's straight-to-the-point approach made Lao Wang a little unaccustomed to it. After careful consideration, he decided to explain his intention.

"Brother Wei, I won't hide it from you. Optical fiber is seeking to go public, and the pressure on profitability is relatively high."

As if he was thinking about how to persuade Wei Jin, Wang Changtian paused before continuing to speak.

"I heard that Huayi purchased a share of "Xunlong Jue" from you. I wonder if Fiber Optic can follow suit?"

Wei Jin understood that there was no airtight wall in the world, but Lao Wang was afraid that he was thinking too much.

"Director Wang, you only heard the news, but you don't know the price, 10% share, 2500 million. Can you accept it?"

"This"

Wang Changtian was stunned. Huayi was driving up prices. How could fiber optics follow suit? It seemed like this plan was going to fail.

After clearing up his mood, Lao Wang began to chat about other topics. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too utilitarian to leave immediately?
"Brother Wei, why do you think these directors in Xiangjiang are no longer good?"

Having said this, Lao Wang felt a little sad. After the National Day release, "Fist of Fury" only had a box office of only 6200 million, so it could only be released ahead of schedule in despair.

Compared with the production cost of 1.2 million, it was a total loss, and Fiber Optic, as the main controller, naturally borne the largest loss. Tens of millions were all wasted, and I am afraid that even the profits of "Passengers" are not enough to make up for it.

"The inertial thinking of Xiangjiang directors is too strong. They are still immersed in the glory of the past and cannot cater to the mainland audience, so naturally they will not be recognized by the audience."

Wei Jin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then paused before continuing to speak.

"In addition, both the project leader and the creative lineup have problems. You should be aware of this."

Wei Jin was telling the truth. Fiber Zhang Zhao was in charge of the "Jingwu Fengyun" project, and this person had always done things that were out of line.

Last year, the movie "Astro Boy" that he was responsible for distributing caused a lot of trouble due to false box office reports.

In addition, Fiber Optic, as the main controller, actually handed over all the casting rights to the director of Xiangjiang. Golden Horse Best Actor Huang Bai could only play a small supporting role in it, supporting Huang Laogou, Yu Wenle and other Xiangjiang actors. It is simply incomprehensible. .

"Hey"

Wang Changtian couldn't say much about the internal affairs of the optical fiber to outsiders. He could only sigh and then talk about another topic.

"Brother Wei, do you think "Painting on the Wall" can be profitable?"

Wang Changtian is more concerned about profitability than ever before.

"It's hard to say now. We won't know until we finish the work later. But for this kind of subject matter, as long as the special effects are passable, we probably won't lose money."

Wei Jin did not tell lies. Although the plot of this "Painted Wall" is a bit bloody, there is hope for profit by using the name of "Liao Zhai" and riding on the popularity of the "Painted Skin" series.

Wei Jin knew what Lao Wang was thinking, but he had no reason to help. He was really helpless.

What's more, "Passengers" has already taken advantage of the light.

Wang Changtian naturally understood, so he did not continue to pester, and left after a small chat.

Wei Jin came to Liu Yifei in the evening. He had spent a little less time with her last month. Only by keeping the rain and dew in check can the harem be stable.

After dinner, with Liu Xiaoli's helpless eyes, Liu Yifei pulled Wei Jin upstairs.

After some lovemaking, the two got into the bathtub and relaxed.

Liu Yifei enjoyed the time the two of them took in the bath, leaning lazily on Wei Jin's chest.

"Yifei."

"Ok?"

Liu Yifei answered somewhat casually.

"How did it feel to go to the press conference of "The Legend of White Snake" today?"

Juli Pictures sent an invitation letter before the National Day, but Wei Jin didn't want to deal with Yang Zi and refused directly. However, he didn't expect that Huang Shengyi actually relied on Nortel's relationship to attract Liu Yifei to support him.

This movie has been making a lot of noise since the project was first established. Juli Yangzi loudly shouted that "there is no upper limit on production funds", which attracted ridicule from the industry, and Wei Jin was also curious about what they were doing.

"Oh, stop talking, I regret participating. Then Yangzi is like a nouveau riche, talking about a 200 million big production. Now he is looking for Shanhe Ink to do special effects, and now Li Lianlian joins."

Wei Jin nodded, it was indeed in line with Yang Zi's style. He didn't have a lot of money, he had a good tone, he loved to show off, and he acted like the boss in the sky, the second in the earth, and the third in others. As for finding Shanhe Ink for special effects, Wei Jin was afraid that he couldn't afford the price. Not everyone could enjoy the cost price, at least not Juli Yangzi.

"But brother, it seems they really hired Li Lian to play the role of Fa Hai."

"The film's producer is Cui Baozhu, so it's no surprise that we can find Li Lianlian."

Wei Jin is not surprised. Cui Baozhu is a gold medal producer in Hong Kong and has collaborated with many Hong Kong stars.

"Fang Shiyu", "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" and "Once Upon a Time" starring Li Lian were all produced by Cui Baozhu, not to mention that the two of them also opened a company together, and their friendship is quite deep. It was just a guest appearance for a few days, so he naturally Will not refuse.

"Brother, why did Huang Shengyi fall in love with him? He has a shoehorned face."

Liu Yifei really didn't understand why Huang Shengyi, who had a very good appearance, had to carry the reputation of being a mistress with such a man.

"Everyone has his or her own preferences for carrots and vegetables, but Yifei, you have such a poisonous mouth."

Wei Jin took advantage of the little girl's softness and said jokingly.

"What? I just speak more directly."

Liu Yifei pretended to be vicious and approached Wei Jin like a threat.

"Or are you saying that you don't like it anymore, brother?"

"How is that possible? Of course I do. It reminds me of the time when we first met."

Wei Jin was telling the truth. Although the two of them had gotten along harmoniously over the years, they seemed to have lost the joy of bickering.

"Yifei, you don't have to suppress your personality from now on. No matter what, I like you."

"Well, brother, I listen to you."

A smile appeared on Liu Yifei's face, and she immediately threw the man down.
After the fun, Liu Yifei put on a pink nightgown and wiped her hair with a dry towel, but she saw Wei Jin already sitting in front of the laptop.

Walking over with a little curiosity, Liu Yifei glanced at the open electronic document.

After following Wei Jin for so long, Liu Yifei naturally knew that the man was writing a script, so she was very considerate and did not disturb him.

Gently wiping his hair, he quietly admired Wei Jin's flexible but rhythmic tapping on the keyboard, and looked at the four bold characters at the top of the document title:
"'Crack Drummer.'"

Although she was very curious, Liu Yifei did not ask. She waited until the man finished a paragraph before asking:
"Brother, what kind of script is this?"

Wei Jin turned around and pinched Liu Yifei's buttocks with both hands.

"This is a musical literary film, a bit of a dark inspirational film, expressing a core spirit of not being crazy or living."

The three major European Grand Slams are not that easy to win. Wei Jin plans to test the waters first, and "Exploding Drummer" is his first attempt.

"So, this is a literary film you prepared for Venice?"

Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes are shining again and again, not only because she and Wei Jin will soon walk on the red carpet in Venice, but also because the attribute of the artistic youth in her body has begun to awaken.

"Brother, is there a role suitable for me in the script?"

"Well, there is only one female character in the entire script, and her age matches you, but she has very few roles."

"So she's the heroine? It doesn't matter if she has a small role, brother."

Seeing the little girl's joyful expression, Wei Jin didn't know what to say.

The drama "Cracking Drummer" is a one-man show between the male protagonist and his teacher, and the rest is the male protagonist's father who plays a minor role.

As for the so-called heroine, her main function is to break up with the male protagonist to show her determination to devote herself to music, which is a bit like "killing the girl to prove the truth".

"Okay, if you like it, then let's make it that way. Then it will be justifiable to change the name when we go to Venice."

Wei Jin held the girl on his lap and sat on her side, his hands roaming on the silky nightgown.

"But Yifei, the role has been decided, shouldn't you give this director some benefits?"

Regarding role-playing games, Wei Jin thought that young girls should be more accepting, and today was a good opportunity.

"Bad brother, what tricks do you want to play again?"

When Wei Jin heard this, he came close to the girl and whispered a few words in her ear, causing the little girl to punch her in the face.

However, after venting her anger, Liu Yifei finally chose to accept her fate.

This night, Liu Yifei experienced a different life. Unfortunately, the little girl's acting skills were not enough. Wei Jin thought about letting her have more contact with the good sisters, so that she could play the role vividly.
Some attentive media saw the latest list of approved scripts released by the Film Bureau.

One of the scripts, titled "Thirty-Three Days of Broken Love", has attracted widespread attention in the industry.

The recorder and producer are both Shanhe Media, but the director is Xue Xiaolu.

Although Wei Jin did not direct it himself, it was produced by Shanhe Media anyway, so the quality is definitely not bad.

The media also got some information from the General Administration.

""Love Is Not Blind" is a female-themed love movie adapted from the novel of the same name."

As soon as the media reported this, people in the industry began to get excited. It is a female-themed, love movie, which means that the female protagonist has quite a lot of roles, which is perfect.

A large number of brokerage companies and actors and artists are praying that Wei Jin will not make an informal decision and leave a way for actors in the industry to survive.

Many people bought the novel of the same name and studied it in order to gain an advantage in the audition process.

Xiangshan Film and Television City, the crew of "Swordsman in the Snow".

"Sister Jia, how should I choose between "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Love Is Not Blind"?"

Yang Mi did not expect that one day he would face such troubles. Although he lost the role in "Pacific Rim", these two films are high-quality projects. If he were still in Rong Xinda, I am afraid there would be no auditions at all. Chance.

"Mimi, I suggest you audition for "Thirteen Hairpins" first. If you can be selected, you don't have to think about it later."

Although it is a movie with a female protagonist, in terms of its ability to attract people, it is not necessarily as good as Lao Mouzi's literary film.

Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and others are all praised by literary and artistic films, and even Zhou Dongyu, who is currently the most popular, is no exception.

"What's more, the company hasn't notified the casting of this movie yet, so it's completely in time."

Yang Mi nodded when he heard this and took it as an insurance policy.

"Well, Sister Jia, I listen to you. Let's go to "Thirteen Hairpins" and try it first."
