During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 312 The gift of fiber optics bullies the gods
To be honest, Wei Jin doesn't care about the timing of "Martial Arts" at all. The key is that he can't bear the media's negative opinion.

After all, Chen Kexin has had quite a halo since her debut.

Chen Kexin has been directing independently since the 90s. The hit "Sweetie" in Asia made him famous and rich. Later, he directed the love movie "Love Letter" for Spielberg's DreamWorks.

In terms of box office, Chen Kexin has "The Certificate of Investment" with a box office of over 2 million. In terms of awards, Chen Kexin is only one step away from achieving the honor of triple gold Grand Slam director. His works are naturally worth looking forward to.

In comparison, the production cost of "The Raid" was only 2000 million. Lin Chaoxian's "Witness" and "Informant" in the past two years have all bombed at the box office. Although the script was written by Wei Jin, the content of Wei is too low. , and "Martial Arts" are not at the same level.

Coupled with the early news released by Star America, "Martial Arts" will make its final appearance at AFM, the world's largest film trading market. Overseas copyrights are expected to sell for sky-high prices, pushing the film's momentum to its peak.

For a time, the outside world seemed to collectively begin to speak ill of him. Even Wu Jing, the star of "The Raid", had little confidence in himself.

"Director Wei, is it really okay?"

"So what if there is a problem? Do you want me to change the schedule? The soldiers will stop it, and the water will cover it up. If you have this spare time, you might as well think about how to promote the movie. It only takes two or three months."

Wei Jin was not worried at all. He had seen the movie "Martial Arts", and it was undoubtedly a hodgepodge of bad movies.

Basically, he is either drinking tea and chatting, or partying at a cocktail party. It is said that he is also a two-plug guy and is quite good at playing.

Previously, it was publicly announced that there would be a national audition for the most beautiful Yu Ji, and a large number of students from art schools actively participated.

In contrast, the Huayi kings with the same surname Wang will enjoy it, especially Mr. Wang, who is so good at playing.

With the 1000 million original stock subscription rights and the role of the "Four Famous Catchers", Lao Wang has spent a lot of money this time.

This man is very diligent and thrifty. He insists on going to and from get off work on time every day. He also brings his own food to work. During lunch, he heats it up in the microwave and then handles it casually.

Although the optical fiber projects were not very good in Wei and Jin's eyes, for female artists, it was enough to improve their status.

In the end, I hired someone from the management, an actress with little fame and no works.

That's all. It's just about deceiving the media and the public, and promoting hype. Many crews have used this trick. When the photos of the key actress's final makeup were released, it was really eye-catching.

Wu Jing said with a hint of asking for advice. After all, Wei and Jin's affairs were well known in the industry, and their methods must have been very good.

As for the roles, that's even more normal. Fiber Optic's artists can't support them at all. Most of Star Culture's artists are first- and second-tier actors. They will definitely add to the quality of the movie, and they can also give away a favor. This is the abacus. very nice.

As for who to give it to, Wei Jin still had to think about it.
In mid-March, "The King's Feast" started filming, and Lu Chuan was really shameless, talking like farts.

"Ahem, still working hard."

"By the way, I heard that you and Xie Nan are getting along?"

"Forget it, I have no experience in this area, girls are chasing me."

However, Lu Chuan is really tough-talking. Faced with doubts from netizens, he actually responded publicly:
"When a man looks at her, his wife and children will be separated. When a woman looks at her, she will feel ashamed. In my eyes, she is the most beautiful Yu Ji."

There are so many things that Chen Kexin wants to express, so "Martial Arts" is neither an action movie nor a martial arts movie. It has a bit of suspense in the fantasy. If you think about it carefully, it also has the taste of a traditional Chinese medicine popular science film. It is completely different from the other. Definitely a soft persimmon.

To be honest, Wei Jin actually admired Lao Wang a little. He had heard Liu Yan talk about many of Lao Wang's deeds.

Wu Jing was unusually embarrassed on the phone.

I don't have any hobbies or expenses on weekdays. I just drink tea and read newspapers, living like an ascetic.

Shanhe Building, in the chairman's office.

"Such a big guy, playing the role of Yu Ji?"

It’s not that he discriminates against appearance. Since he is playing the role of a gorgeous beauty like Yu Ji, he must at least be convincing in appearance, right? But it is unreasonable for people to bring money into the group.

The king is not willing to give in too much. Although he is not a womanizer, this guy is extremely yearning for the life of his ancestors. He spent tens of millions to build a private horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing and raised dozens of purebred horses.

Then the audition lasted for so long and attracted a lot of attention, achieving the purpose of promoting the movie.

Although Lao Wang acted very grandly, Wei Jin was not a ungrateful person, and he only wanted two of the female characters.

"Okay, Director Wang, let's meet up again when we have time. Well, bye."

Wei Jin hung up the phone with some emotion, Wang Changtian really gave him a great gift.

As the saying goes, what is good at the top will be bad at the bottom. It is no wonder that Huayi's public relations ability is second to none in the industry.

"How about Director Wei teach me two moves?"

Wei Jin did not refuse Lao Wang's overture. Although this project did not bring optical fiber, it does not mean that we will not cooperate in the future. Some medium-sized production or Jiahe projects can still bring optical fiber for fun.

Wei Jin backed off his tactics and pretended to be a bit cool. Soon a word of goodbye came out from the other end of the phone and he hung up in a hurry.

"You haven't won it yet? You've messed up too many times." Wei Jin complained mercilessly.

Although Wei Jin admired this kind of thing, he thought he couldn't do it. Isn't the purpose of this kind of struggle just to enjoy it?

Wei Jin remembered the gossip he heard from Liu Yan and joked over the phone.

In addition, he also loves collecting. He frequently spends large sums of money to acquire paintings by famous artists at major auctions.

On the contrary, under the influence of Wang Changtian, Fiber Optic played very well. Wei Jin had dinner with Lao Wang several times and his mouth watered.

Wei Jin had seen the photos, and to be honest, with an appearance like this, he could still be considered outstanding among ordinary people, but in the entertainment industry, he really wouldn't rank among them.

"How much does Lu Chuan charge? Any female student from the three major art schools would be prettier than her, right?"

"Hey, tell the truth, why doesn't anyone believe it?"

However, Wei Jin could also understand that Fiber Optics was seeking to go public. As the top commercial director, he would have brought many assistants when he appeared in the shareholder column, just like Huayi did at the beginning.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Wei Jin began to think about the role of "Four Famous Catchers".

Netizens are not used to him, and there is a chorus of abuse on the Internet, which is exactly the same as when "Nanjing" was released.

There were many people in the industry watching the excitement, and "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" even hurriedly took a photo of Yang Mi with her makeup done, and directly showed it to slap Lu Chuan in the face.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Yang Mi may not be considered a top beauty, but compared to Lu Chuan's actresses, she is simply inferior.

Netizens also started making noises.

"Originally I thought Yang Mi was not beautiful enough, but looking at these photos together, it actually gave me the feeling of having a world-famous appearance."

"We are both Yu Concubines, Yang Mi has the waist and guard hair of Chu, and Du Juan has the big arms and round waist, absolutely amazing!"

For a time, Lu Chuan and "The King's Feast" became jokes again.
Wei Jin left the company and went straight to Liu Yifei's villa. The script was already ready, so let her pick it first this time. When I entered the room, I saw that Shu Chang was also here. The latter had a single ponytail and was sitting on the sofa eating snacks with Liu Yifei. He didn't regard himself as an outsider at all.

"Ah~~Director Wei"

Hearing the sound of shoes hitting the ground, Shu Chang turned around and saw Wei Jin, looking frightened.

"Sit down, am I that scary?"

Wei Jin changed his shoes, sat down on the sofa opposite the two girls, and couldn't help but joke.

"Or did you say bad things about me in front of my Yifei while I was away?"

When Shu Chang heard this, he quickly stood up and explained.

"No, no, absolutely not"

"Okay, sing, sing, he's teasing you."

Looking at her best friend's appearance, Liu Yifei quickly comforted her, and then rolled her eyes at Wei Jin.

"Brother, the same goes for you. It's hard to catch up with the crew's vacation when singing, so you came here to see me. You ruined the atmosphere when you came, huh."

Wei Jin smiled when he heard this and started chatting with the two little girls.

"Is it the "Magic Phone 2"?"

"Yes." Shu Changyan nodded concisely.

Wei Jin still knows a little about the situation of this drama.

"Magic Phone" was filmed in 06. Once it was broadcast on CCTV in 08, it achieved an average ratings of over 4 and a peak of 5.76%. It is considered a rare hit TV series.

Originally, the producer, the TV Drama Production Center, had long wanted to launch a sequel. However, although this drama had good ratings, its reputation was quite poor.

The major media criticized it, and netizens also criticized it, commenting that the plot insulted the IQ, the characters were idiotic, and the appearance was outrageous. This drama was given a low score of 3.9 on Impression.com.

Now more than two years have passed, the public has slowly come to their senses, the reputation has gradually recovered, and the rating has risen to 5.5. This prompted the TV Drama Production Center to establish a project last year and continue to develop this project.

"Brother, do you think this drama will become a hit like before?"

Even though Liu Yifei is very cool, she is still very concerned about the career of her best friend Shu Chang. Although they had some unpleasantness before, the two of them have been in a relationship for many years and they no longer mind that matter.

"Well, it's hard to say. I heard that the script has been deleted. Compared with the first part, I'm afraid it's a little weaker."

Wei Jin conservatively gave his judgment. Due to the carelessness of the drama center, this drama failed to lock in the schedule of the original cast in advance, resulting in a small number of actors unable to star.

Among them is one of the most important starring actors, Jiao Enjun, who is already recording his first album "Mr. Vincent".

Therefore, the screenwriter spent a lot of time in nine years directly deleting and modifying the script. Such temporary operations will naturally not produce very good results.

"Yeah, when I saw the script, I thought it was a little weird, but Uncle Jiao's reputation is really great. The crew would rather give up this role than find someone to replace him."

Shu Chang said with some emotion, he didn't know how long it would take to get to Jiao Enjun's level.

"You are so humble. Silly girls are irreplaceable. They are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

At this point, Wei Jin and Liu Yifei looked at each other and read out the classic line in unison.

"Huaren brand 2060 mobile phone, Sha Niu will serve you, hahaha"

Shu Chang was very angry when she was teased by Wei Jin and Liu Yifei, a pair of "dog men and women".

But after such a fuss, the relationship between Shu Chang and Wei Jin became much closer. Liu Yifei was very happy because she knew that the man was taking care of her feelings.

In the evening, Liu Xiaoli cooked as usual, and it was Wei Jin's favorite Sichuan cuisine, and Shu Chang also had a meal.

During the dinner, Liu Xiaoli seemed hesitant to speak. Wei Jin understood in his heart and took the initiative to calm her down.

"Auntie, Yifei has been resting for half a year. I have prepared several scripts for her. You can choose from them later."

As soon as Wei Jin said these words, surprise appeared on both Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei's faces. Even Shu Chang on the side showed an envious look. There were several scripts to choose from. If the female stars in the entertainment industry knew this, , why don’t you go crazy on the spot?
"Haha, Wei Jin, hurry up and eat the food"

Liu Xiaoli, who came to her senses, quickly greeted Wei Jin and secretly said to this boy, it seems that his daughter's weight in his heart is getting heavier and heavier, which is a good thing.

"Brother, are you directing this time?"

Liu Yifei had a look of expectation on her face. When she saw the man nodding, she was even more excited. Seven years, seven years later, she could finally become the heroine of Wei and Jin Dynasty again. If not at the dinner table, she would have wanted to I offered you a sweet kiss.

This also made her feel for the first time that living at home was so inconvenient, and she was thinking about looking for an opportunity to buy a cozy nest just for two people.

In the bedroom, after the clouds and rain passed, Wei Jin lit a cigarette.

Liu Yifei leaned on Wei Jin's shoulder, with sweetness on her pretty face. She had already read the scripts after the meal, and all of them had outstanding female leads. This man was so thoughtful.

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei squeezed into Wei Jin's arms again, enjoying the happy time between the two of them.

Wei Jin hugged the girl and felt deeply about Liu Yifei's choice. The little girl was still very pursuing.

"Yifei, the contrast between the characters in this script is very big. You should think carefully about it during this period. When I finish the project in hand, I will start it, which will be around July."

After listening to the man's words, Liu Yifei raised her head and answered seriously.

"Well, brother, I will definitely be careful."

Seeing the seriousness on the little girl's face, Wei Jin couldn't help but joke.

"Yifei, after taking such a long time to prepare this time, if I still don't perform well on the set, I will scold others. Don't cry when the time comes, haha."

Although she knew the man was joking, Liu Yifei still sat up with a look of stubbornness on her face when she thought of the scene where she was violently dominated by Wei Jin on the set many years ago.

"No way, I will definitely perform well this time."

Wei Jin put out his cigarette butt and put his hands around the girl's slender waist, with a bit of teasing on his face.

"That's not necessarily true. Let's do this. The director will show mercy tonight and give you some pointers on your acting skills."

As he spoke, Wei Jin slid his finger downwards and came to a mysterious place, the meaning of which was self-explanatory.

"Bad people just know how to bully me."

This night, Liu Yifei contributed the peak acting skills of her career, which made Director Wei very satisfied.
