During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 304 Assistants’ role-playing worship
In the movie market, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" will cross the 7 million mark, with a revenue of 7.08 million, and it will be released accordingly.

Jiang Wen suddenly became a director worth 7 million, and this film also became the runner-up in the domestic film box office rankings. There are all relevant reports on the Internet.

Jiang Wen kept his promise and personally wrote an invitation letter to the celebration banquet and sent it to the company. However, Wei Jin did not choose to attend and asked Chen Zhiming to go on his behalf. He was busy with the storyboard script and preliminary preparations for "Gravity".

What's more, he doesn't like business entertainment or anything like that. Wouldn't it be nice to spend more time communicating with a few women during this time?
At the same time, "New Shaolin Temple" was released, with a box office of 2300 million on the first day.

Relative to the production cost and cast, this result is undoubtedly unqualified.

But just like that, a group of experts jumped out to predict that the total domestic box office will be 5 million, which seems funny.

Sure enough, the market's slap in the face came quickly. "New Shaolin Temple" took in 1.02 million at the box office in its first week of release, but the single-day box office has dropped below million.

The critical movie's reputation has collapsed, and the Internet is almost full of curses.

Gu J: "After reading it for 2 hours, the whole article is full of artificiality, deliberately expressing Shaolin's tolerance and benevolence. I don't know what it means."

Twenty-nine-year-old Bu Go: "Chen Musheng, you should go back to filming action movies. You can't handle such a blockbuster."

Hua Qian Yu Ye: "The Shaolin Group really spent a lot of money on making this promotional video. Such a good cast was wasted."

After work, Wei Jin looked at the comments on the Internet and shook his head. He didn't know why the Buddha didn't bless his followers this time.

According to this trend, if the box office of "New Shaolin Temple" exceeds 200 million, it will be considered a high success.
-
The 3D martial arts masterpiece "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", which took more than three months and invested 2 million, was completed.

Looking at Mr. Xu who was dusty but full of energy in the office, Wei Jin felt a little emotional. A man in his sixties is really full of energy.

"Director Xu, the Spring Festival is coming soon. Don't worry about the end of the movie. Go back to Xiangjiang to accompany Mr. Shi. We live in two places and we rarely see each other a few times a year. It makes me seem a little inhumane, haha."

Hearing Wei Jin's words, Mr. Xu's face flashed slightly unnaturally.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Wei, I know."

"How was the harvest?"

"It's very good. Cameron's team put forward a lot of constructive suggestions. This shooting gave me a feeling of finding a future direction."

"That's good. We are not afraid of spending money or falling behind. As long as there are gains, we can catch up slowly."

Wei Jin nodded and then asked another person on the side.

"Old Dong, have you figured out 3D photography? You'll be able to get started in a few months, so don't let me down by then."

The full name of Lao Dong is Dong Jinsong. He is a somewhat honest man from northern Shaanxi with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Because of this relationship, he joined Shanhe Media very early and has been the royal photographer of Wei and Jin Dynasties over the years.

After finishing the filming of "The Explosive Drummer", Wei Jin arranged for the old director to join the group of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" to observe and learn related techniques to prepare for the subsequent "Gravity".

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei, it'll be okay."

Lao Dong’s words were concise and to the point. In fact, he had been studying 3D photography as early as the release of “Inception”. He dare not say that he is proficient, but proficiency is definitely considered.

"Okay, everyone has been tired from traveling, so I won't do those chores. Let's have a rest. We will get together again at the annual meeting."
-
The New Year is approaching, and the entertainment industry is the busiest time. Major entertainment companies have begun to hold annual meetings.

Many film and television companies and star studios in the industry are posting on Weibo to post photos, gifts and year-end awards from annual meetings.

Star Studio under Sunward Media is no exception. Qiao Zhenyu is gentle and treats his team's employees very well. He gave away a lot of laptops, mobile phones, cash, and even held a car lottery.

Fan Bingbing did not hesitate to give in. Even though he was in Hollywood, he still arranged for Yang Siwei to hold an annual meeting and specially recorded a New Year greeting video. The money was quite generous, with a shopping card of 5,000 yuan per person, and other draws were not included.

The only exception is Zhou Xun. It seems that she has not gotten used to her boss's identity. She is eagerly waiting for Wei Jin to make a big deal, which makes her employees angry and funny. They don't know what to say about such an unreliable boss. What's better.

At this year's Shanhe Media annual meeting, Wei Jin did not do any other fancy things, but just waved his hand and won a cash prize.

Tens of millions of cash piled together, the scene was quite spectacular.

Of course, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was no distinction between Chinese arts and craftsmen who were close to each other, and everyone was treated equally.

From the small red envelope of 1888 to the big red envelope of 88888, everyone has a share.

"Hahaha"

Zhang Wen at the front desk was extremely happy, she felt that she was the daughter of destiny.

In the lottery, I won a huge red envelope of 88888 yuan, as well as 10 days of paid vacation next year.

Seeing the old employees in their twenties grinning on the stage, Wei Jin sighed inwardly. For seven years, this girl has watched Shanhe Media come step by step.

Zhou Xun is also really fun. She brings her employees here to eat, drink, and draw prizes. In her words, they are all workers from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and they cannot be distinguished clearly.

However, this sister was very lucky. She got the red envelope of 28888 and immediately smiled.

In a joyful and festive atmosphere, the 2011 company annual meeting came to an end.

After the banquet, Wei Jin enjoyed the new program prepared by the three assistants as usual. This was already the thing he looked forward to most every New Year.

Sure enough, the three beauties did not disappoint him. The villa was decorated like a classroom, and the three of them were dressed up differently.

Liu Yan wears a pair of rimless rose-red glasses, a white tight-fitting shirt with an astonishing curvature on her chest, a pair of red high-heeled shoes, and a pair of fine-textured highly translucent black silk + 7B ultra-short butt-covering skirt. She is holding a The soft pointer completely transforms into a Tokyo teacher, making people want to stop.

Xiaobai is dressed in a cool student outfit. Under the miniskirt, she wears a pair of knee-length white silk stockings, black shoes, and a long ponytail. Paired with her peerless face with a classical charm, she is really pure and lusty.

Wang Zixuan is dressed as a nurse, and her pink slim-fitting coat cannot hide her proud figure. Through the gap between two buttons, she wears black silk high heels, which makes her charming.

Looking at the teachers, students, and school doctors in front of him, all of whom were popular categories in sex movies, Wei Jin raised a satisfied smile on his lips.

"Liu Yan, Xiao Bai, Zixuan, they are good, they won my heart."

"Teacher Liu Yan, students are not very good at this long and short question."

"This is simple. Just do the math first. If you still don't understand, I'll help you measure it."

"Xiao Bai, classmates at the same table should help each other. I feel a little uncomfortable now. Can you help me?"

"No problem, classmate Wei, your body is so hot, let me cool you down with water."

"Dr. Wang, I feel a little unwell and would like to get an injection. Which position do you think is more suitable?"

"Student Wei, don't worry, I can handle this situation."

This night Wei Jin experienced the joy that people in their childhood were passionate about——
As the Spring Festival approached, Wei Jin was a little surprised to receive a private invitation from Han Sanping.

However, when he arrived at the place and saw the short-haired girl following Lao Hantou, Wei Jin came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, human connections are really everywhere.

Even top bosses like Han Sanping have to pave the way for their daughters.

"Beauty, I don't need to introduce Wei and Jin, right?"

After the guests and hosts were seated, Han Sanping said to his daughter.

"Of course, everyone in the entertainment industry knows the youngest Palme d'Or winner, Golden Bear winner, Oscar-winning director, and billionaire box office director in China."

Good guy, Han Jia's self-questioning introduction, coupled with the slightly admiring look in her big eyes, made Wei Jin feel a little embarrassed in a rare way.

"Hello, Director Wei, I am Han Jia'v, and I applied for the postgraduate degree in directing at Nortel this year."

Han Sanping's daughter, Han Jia'v, has three-thirds of facial features similar to those of old Han Tou. Just looking at her face, she cannot be considered a beauty.

But with slightly three-dimensional facial features and short hair, the overall temperament looks refreshing and neat, somewhat like a strong woman.

"Hello, after all this, you are still my junior sister, are you born in the 90s?"

"No way, I was born in 86"

It could be seen that Han Jia Nyeo was a little excited, but with her good upbringing, she quickly calmed down on such an occasion, and after a few words, she handed over the topic to her father.

He just looked at Wei Jin curiously. After all, Wei Jin has gradually become a myth in the film industry and even the entertainment industry.

Whether it is the film's box office success or the world's top awards, Wei Jin is destined to leave his name in global film history.

What's more important is that such an all-around top director is also the head of a giant company in the entertainment industry. His revealed net worth alone has exceeded tens of billions. Han Jia'v intended to develop into the film and television entertainment industry, so she naturally understood the importance of Wei Jin.

After a brief chat, Han Sanping nodded at his daughter.

"Wei Jin, if you have the opportunity in the future, take care of her more often."

"Director Han, there is no need for me to take care of you when you are here."

Wei Jin sat carelessly in his seat and took a bite of food without any courtesy.

"You kid, I'm already old enough and I'm going to retire sooner or later."

"Director Han, you are being too modest. Don't tell me that you are only halfway through your term. According to China Film's profit situation in the past two years, maybe even after I retire, you will still be able to sit still, haha."

What Wei Jin said was not a lie. In the past few years, China Film Group has made a lot of money with Shanhe Media, and with several Hollywood projects, the profits have been considerable.

Although it is a state-owned enterprise, Wei Jin believes that people with achievements will always be favored no matter what. There is no way that Han Sanping will really have a chance to be re-elected.

"Stop talking nonsense to me and give me accurate information."

Han Sanping knew his situation. Even if he could be re-elected, he would still have to step down. The saying that people leave and the tea is cold couldn't be more realistic.

But Wei Jin was different. He was less than thirty years old, and he was very affectionate and righteous. As long as he was willing to support a beautiful girl, her daughter would be free from worries for at least most of her life.

"Don't worry, if you really quit, my junior sister will be taken care of by me, so you won't suffer any loss."

The Wei and Jin Dynasties are all good, and Han Jianu is the screenwriter of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and her level is not low. Besides, Old Hantou has helped him a lot over the years, and he won't be stingy if he can help.

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words."

Hearing Wei Jin's promise, Han Sanping's face full of vicissitudes, like an old farmer's, showed a happy smile. He knew that this boy valued friendship. It was a pity. It would be better if he was not so carefree.

Han Jianu, who was on the side, was a little speechless when she saw the way Wei Jin communicated with her father. The two of them were dozens of years apart. How could they get along so harmoniously? She felt like an outsider, so she couldn't help but interject.

"Brother Wei, you have won so many international awards, can you tell me why it is so difficult to win awards domestically?"

Wei Jin understood the problem of Han Jianu.

In the middle of this month, the Berlin Film Festival announced its shortlist. Not even a single Chinese-language film was shortlisted. They were completely wiped out;
Yesterday, the nominees for the 83rd Academy Awards were announced in Beverly Hills. In terms of best foreign language film, "Earthquake" recommended by the General Administration of China, "Thieves of Time" representing Hong Kong, and "Monga" representing the Bay Area were all rejected.

Having my head shaved twice in succession was a huge blow to Chinese-language films.

"Junior sister, neither the three major European universities nor the Oscars can be absolutely fair and impartial. You have to understand this."

Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Wei Jin continued:

"The top three in Europe are okay, but they can't even make it to the finals. It can only be said that the work is not up to standard, and I can't blame others. But when it comes to competing for the Oscars, it's because the domestic producers have lost their minds."

"Oh? What should I say? Was it the wrong choice of film?"

It’s no wonder that Han Jia’er had such doubts. After the “Earthquake” was not selected, Zhang Weiping directly posted a strange expression on Weibo:
"Things like competing for the Oscars still have to be done by experienced seniors. If some people are not qualified in terms of ethics, the consequences will naturally be obvious."

These words naturally caused an uproar on the Internet. Most people thought that maybe if the spot was given to "Hawthorn Tree", the result would be different. Obviously Han Jianu also supported Lao Mouzi.

"It has nothing to do with film selection. Do you know when Hollywood is the busiest every year?"

Wei Jin looked at Lao Hantou and his daughter and asked pointedly.

"Awards season?" Han Jia Nyeo replied with some uncertainty.

"Yes, then do you know who are the busiest people?"

Before Han Jianu could answer, Wei Jin gave the answer on his own.

"It's not the actors or the production company. The busiest people are the thousands of judges and people from the public relations company. No matter how good the movie is, it still needs public relations. You know, how much money did I spend to get "Hunting" to win the award last year? ?"

Having said this, Wei Jin paused and raised his left index finger.

"More than ten million in U.S. dollars."

After Wei Jin finished speaking, he ignored the shocked Han family father and daughter and started eating by himself.

Regarding domestic operations, Wei Jin was really speechless. He signed up for the Olympics every year with full confidence. After signing up, he eagerly waited for the results. He didn't even understand the rules of Hollywood, and he was destined to not even be qualified to run with him.

"Coco is Senior Brother, it's just the best foreign language film. Is this necessary?"

Han Jianyu really couldn't imagine that tens of millions of dollars in public relations funds had brought two Oscar statuettes to "Hunting". Is it worth it?
"What's wrong with foreign language films? Yes, the competition in foreign language films is not that fierce, but as the saying goes, there is no harm in being polite to many people. There is no harm in running a public relations, what? At home, you can make money at every turn, but outside, your skills are not Feeling unfamiliar?"

Wei Jin made some sarcastic remarks, leaving Han Sanping speechless within the system, but after thinking about it, it seems that this is also the case. How come the traditional skills of thousands of years are lost outside?

Halfway through the meal, Wei Jin suddenly remembered his own affairs.

"By the way, Mr. Han, why hasn't "Gravity" been approved yet?"

Wei Jin was a little surprised. It had been more than 20 days and the script hadn't been reviewed yet. Logically speaking, no one would be stuck in reviewing a science fiction film like this.

"Well, you have to understand the things within the system. We have been meeting to summarize things before the year, and I will probably go there after the year."

Han Sanping was also a little embarrassed. Those old guys had no time to do anything serious. Every time before and after holidays, they only drank tea, read newspapers and socialized. They had no time to do serious work.

“But it’s coming soon. It’s expected to be approved in the beginning of the new year.”

Speaking of this, Han Sanping patted his head as if he remembered something.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that there will be a seminar after the new year, and you will also come to participate."

"Director Han, I won't go. You know I don't like this kind of occasion."

Wei Jin has participated in these seminars many times. They are nothing more than a group of film and television company CEOs and big directors in the industry, sitting in a row at the bottom.

A group of leaders came on stage one after another. They started by saying, "I will say a few words briefly, and then they will talk for hours."

The key point is that these leaders are all laymen, they don’t talk about the key points, they are all empty clichés, they might as well have fun at home with the women.

"You won't be able to run away this time. The Children's Bureau has called on you to participate."

Han Sanping put down his chopsticks and said with a smile:

"Last year, the domestic movie box office exceeded 120 billion. Sunward Media and Golden Harvest combined, they made 20 billion. Are you being ridiculous when you say you won't go?"

Having said this, Wei Jin could only smile bitterly and shake his head, Tong Bureau still had to give him face.

"Okay, but let's make a deal first. If the time isn't right, it's not my fault."

"It's almost New Year's Eve, but where are you going, kid?"

Han Sanping suddenly became energetic. Could this guy have another project in North America?

“I bought an island in Australia and plan to spend the Spring Festival there this year.”

After the Oscars last year, Wei Jin arranged for William to take charge of this matter. All aspects of the island's construction have been completed. Taking advantage of the Spring Festival, he planned to take a few women out to cultivate relationships.

When Han Sanping heard this, he immediately lost his thoughts, but he couldn't help but make a joke.

"Your boy's life is really corrupt."

When Wei Jin heard this, he immediately quit.

"Director Han, we are on good terms. If you say this, I will sue you for defamation. I have earned every penny with hard work. Why are you not allowed to enjoy it?"

"Ha ha."
