During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 317: There are many bed scenes and the project is stopped
Xiangjiang, Yinghuang headquarters.

Huo Wenxi was wearing a black professional suit. The hip-covering skirt only reached three-thirds of the knee. Her shapely and slender calves were wrapped in flesh-colored stockings. The whole person looked extremely elegant, not inferior to those celebrity artists.

At this time, she was bowing slightly and reporting work to Boss Yang.

"Boss, Shi Nansheng replied, we can get 20% of the investment share of "Anti-Drug" and "Storm", and the price of each film is 2000 million."

Upon hearing this number, Boss Yang raised his eyebrows.

"The premium is not much, but the share is too small."

"Shi Nansheng explained that 20% was retained by Mr. Wei."

After hearing Huo Wenxi's explanation, Boss Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Wei Jin was really willing to go public in order to promote Fan Bingbing.

Thinking of this, Boss Yang felt that it was necessary to cultivate Wen Yongshan carefully and deepen the relationship between the two parties.

"I recommend Ashan to try these two dramas, and you can spread the word a little bit."

"Brother Hua, the script is like this"

After listening to Lu Yang's description, Liu Tianwang was a little bit dumbfounded. This script does have a lot of sex scenes.

It is said that she signed with Star Culture only after her contract with Honor expired. It seems that this is indeed the company's tradition.

"Well, it's hard to tell right now. Jiahe's "The Storm" has already contacted me. It is expected to start filming in early August. In addition, I have a movie at the end of October. This is the general arrangement."

Although the boss didn't finish what he said, Huo Wenxi instantly understood that he was trying to pull off the tiger's skin and raise the banner, giving the Xiangjiang circle the illusion that "Wen Yongshan is the forbidden concubine of Wei and Jin in Xiangjiang."

"That's no problem, that's it. I have a drama in hand. The script is good and there are a lot of sex scenes. I want to invite you to play the male lead."

Seeing the girl's nervous look, Zhang Xu immediately stopped and expressed some self-deprecation.

"Brother Hua, are you busy with your schedule in the second half of the year?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Director Lu, please tell me."

"Miss Zhao Liying, I have basically understood your situation. In principle, there is no problem in signing the contract."

"I'm afraid of trouble, and I don't want to cause trouble for Mr. Wei. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Liying couldn't help but feel relieved, and then said with a firm face.

After retracting his thoughts, Lu Yang pressed the call button. After a few busy signals, the other party connected.

When the script had just been reviewed and the storyboarding had not yet begun, he took the initiative to call the actor he liked.

"Hey, Brother Hua, it's me. Is it convenient to talk now?"

But from the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to accept this kind of film.

"Director Zhang, it's like this. Huayi doesn't care about young artists like me. As long as the contract is not renewed within the time limit of the renewal notice, the contract will be automatically terminated, so..."

When Lu Yang heard this, he felt relieved. He would not be able to shoot the film for two months. If Liu Tianwang's role was concentrated, it would be even less than a month.

"No, Xiangjiang is just a place full of entertainment and gossip."
-
The girl with a bun face did not expect that in just three days, she would receive an interview notice from Star Sky Culture.

"Hello, Brother Hua? Are you there?"

Everyone was confused when Liu Tianwang answered the phone. There were a lot of sex scenes? Could it be a movie like "Lust, Caution"?
Liu Tianwang's mind was spinning rapidly. In recent years, whether it was Wei Jin, Shanhe Media, or Jiahe, the cooperation had been very pleasant and reasonable. When the schedule was suitable, he should not refuse Lu Yang's invitation.

Seeing the surprised expression on the girl's face, Zhang Xu changed the topic.

When Boss Yang heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

"Hello, Director Lu?"

Lu Yang assessed his progress and set the launch date in the second half of the year.

With an anxious mood, she stepped into Shanhe Building for the first time. After the guidance of the front desk lady, she successfully arrived at the director's office of Star Culture.

When Zhao Liying heard this, she instantly thought of Yang Mi, one of the four little beauties back then.

"Well, it's convenient. Director Lu, please tell me something."

"Hello, Director Zhang, I am Zhao Liying here for an interview."

In addition, in terms of appearance, this girl also has great advantages. Although she is not absolutely beautiful in terms of appearance, this kind of sweet-looking artist is exactly what the company lacks.

Before the interview, Zhang Xu had already done a simple background check. Whether it was Jiang Xueyuan, Xu Zheng, or other crew members on the resume, they all spoke very well of this girl.

"Well, hello, please sit down."

Zhang Xu raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him. It was another girl who, like Wan Qian, came to make a fortune alone.

The first call he planned to make was to Liu Tianwang. After all, top male stars like the latter usually have very tight schedules. Did he reject "The Thief" before watching it?
Looking through the numbers saved in his mobile phone, Lu Yang felt a little emotional. He was worthy of being a superstar who has been popular for thirty years. His conduct in life is really nothing to say.

"Director Zhang, I understand. I will complete the procedures in the next few days."
-
After Lu Yang got the script of "Rescue Mr. My" revised by Wei Jin, he acted very efficiently. After all, he hadn't directed a movie for more than a year and his hands were already itchy.

"Director Lu, there is no problem with me. I will wait for your notification."

So Zhang Xu didn't intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"But, will this offend Wei Sheng?"

"It's just that your contract with Huayi hasn't expired yet, right?"

But when thinking about Wei Jin's energy, Huo Wenxi was a little worried.

At that time, I was just a fledgling little Karami, and Liu Tianwang took the initiative to exchange business cards with me at the cocktail party, which was really refreshing.

"it is good"

China Film Digital Base, the filming location of "Gravity".

Looking at the picture on the computer, Wei Jin nodded. With the running in these days, the filming progress is getting faster and faster. Cheng Long's scene is expected to end in another week.

"Hey, this is over, let's take a rest."

Taking advantage of the break, Wei Jin was about to smoke a cigarette when Guo Fan came over.

"How about it? It's more rewarding than staying in North America, right?"

Wei Jin's tone was ridiculing. Guo Fan had been participating in the later stages of "Pacific Rim" in North America. He just received a call asking him to come back. He still looked reluctant, but after joining the team for more than ten days, There is obviously a huge interest in this way of shooting.

"Well, I didn't expect that we could reach this level."

Guo Fan's tone was somewhat emotional. What he learned in books was already far behind. Wei Jin shook his head when he heard this and said in denial:

"No, we can't reach this level yet. Whether it's the equipment in front of you or the dynamic photography equipment Bot & Dolly's IRIS system, they are all provided by foreign countries. What we can do is just use them with a little proficiency. Domestic film industrialization , there’s a long way to go”

After sighing and finishing his cigarette, Wei Jin stood up and went behind the special effects computer, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted.

"Every unit is ready, next step."

"action"

On April 4, "Ip Man 22" was released.

Thanks to the fan base built by the first two films and the support of major theaters, the film's box office revenue was 2640 million on the first day of its release. In the three days of the first weekend, it earned a total of more than 8700 million.

It has reached a new high in terms of word-of-mouth, with a score of 7.8 on Impression.com, far exceeding the previous two films.

Many fans commented that this movie returned to life itself. There were not so many enemies of the country and the family, and there was no invincible hero. It only portrayed the people and things around Ip Man, but it seemed very real.

The media has already given predictions that "Ip Man 3" is likely to hit new heights and is even expected to exceed 5 million box office.

Looking at the momentum of the movie, Sunward Media and Yinghuang also began to increase publicity resources and expand the number of road shows.

What Wei Jin didn't expect was that Zhen Zhan would cause trouble again.

"Mr. Yang, are you saying that Zhen Zizi doesn't plan to participate in subsequent road shows?"

Wei Jin felt his head buzzing, what was this guy going to do?
"Yes, the explanation for this rejection is that the reputation of "Ip Man 3" has been stable, and there is no need to worry about the subsequent box office. On the contrary, he has not participated in the promotion of "Guan Yunchang" from the beginning, and now it is reasonable and reasonable. It’s time to allocate time over there.”

After listening to Boss Yang's explanation, Wei Jin really didn't know what to say. Zhen is almost fifty years old, doesn't he have a brain? Want a flat bowl of water? Didn't you think that both sides were offended?
Wei Jin felt a little tired. Some people really couldn't hold up the wall, so he made a decision in his heart.

"Mr. Yang, if that's the case, let him go. It's time for the Ip Man series to stop."

Boss Yang on the other end of the phone panicked instantly. He just called to communicate and complain, but he didn't want to stop this money-making cash cow, so he quickly explained.

"Mr. Wei, leave the matter to me, even if it means being tied up, I will..."

"Mr. Yang, there's no need. Apart from Ip Man, there are many money-making projects, but I don't plan to cooperate with this person anymore, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin walked into the shooting scene with a calm face. In his opinion, there were so many projects, and letting one go would have no impact at all, at least it wouldn't affect his mood every now and then.

Looking at Cheng Long, Wei Jin had a smile on his face.

"Brother, your role is expected to end in three to five days. How do you feel?"

"Director Wei, this shooting opened my eyes. Domestic science fiction films can be shot like this. No wonder your box office results are so good. It's really amazing."

Having said this, Cheng Long gave Wei Jin a thumbs up, then grinned.

"However, for this collaboration, I am afraid that I have received the highest salary. In less than 20 days, it was 800 million US dollars. I feel embarrassed, haha."

Seeing Cheng Long's funny look, Wei Jin laughed in surprise. Although he was laughing at himself for getting too much money, he was also implying that the script had too few scenes. Brother, it’s really not that simple.

"Brother, if you really feel sorry for yourself, just come to more of my movies to help with guest appearances, haha."

"No problem, Director Wei, please speak up and I'll be here when you call, haha"
-
On the other side, Boss Yang hung up the phone with a terrifyingly gloomy expression.

"Boss, Mr. Wei really wants to stop this project? But this series still has great potential that can be tapped."

Huo Wenxi didn't understand. According to the nature of Xiangjiang, this kind of series would not be able to achieve this result without making seven or eight parts to make money.

"Stop."

Boss Yang held the frame on the bridge of his nose with his hand and suppressed his anger.

"Don't pay attention to that guy. Wei Jin said stop, so stop."

Boss Yang knew very well that the copyright of the "Ip Man" series was in Wei Jin's hands, and there was no way Ying Huang could bypass him.

Just the thought of stopping the "Ip Man" series makes Boss Yang's heart bleed.

Although Yinghuang opens many projects every year, this series is definitely the most profitable at present, especially this third part, with a box office that is likely to exceed 500 million. How much benefit will that bring to Yinghuang?

It's a pity, it's all that guy's fault! !
"The news will be kept secret for now, and the next direction of publicity will be towards Zhang Jing."

"Boss, I understand."

With his fingers tapping on the desk, Boss Yang was thinking quickly about his next cooperation with Wei Jin.

"Mani, continue to negotiate the copyright of "Slaying the Wolf". We must get it."

"Okay, boss."

Just when Huo Wenxi was about to leave the office, Boss Yang added another sentence.

"Mani, in the future, I don't want to see the movies that the company produces or participates in investing in."

"Okay, boss, I understand."

As one of the three largest film festivals in Europe, the Cannes Film Festival is even more famous than Venice and Berlin. Every time it is held, it attracts the attention of the world.

In the previously announced shortlist, all Chinese-language films were wiped out, and the media felt regretful for a while. However, unexpectedly, at the last moment of nominations a few days ago, Chen Kexin's "Martial Arts" actually made it into the list.

"The costume blockbuster "Martial Arts" directed by Chen Kexin will enter the midnight screening section of the Cannes Film Festival!"

"New films by directors such as Lou Ye and Jia Zhangke have been confirmed to be excluded from this year's Cannes Film Festival. "Martial Arts" may become the only Chinese-language film."

For a time, "Martial Arts" seemed to be the savior of Chinese-language films.

Naturally, Xing Mei and Chen Kexin would not give up such a good opportunity and directly expressed it in a high profile.

"Martial arts films have always been our specialty and have always attracted much attention overseas. This copyright transaction for "Martial Arts" is very likely to set a new record."

Everyone knows that Director Xiangjiang likes to brag, but netizens didn't take it well and started ridiculing him directly.

"It's hilarious. It's a midnight screening, and it sounds like it's going to win the Palme d'Or."

"People from small places don't have much knowledge. They probably only know about the Hong Kong Film Awards."

During a break in filming, Wei Jin could not help but shake his head when he saw the news on the Internet.

Martial arts films are indeed Chinese characteristics, but they are no longer popular in overseas markets. Wei and Jin are not very optimistic about the pre-sales of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

But maybe for this "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", the other investors enjoy all the copyright profits, so the other producers are very active in selling the copyright. Bernard and Fatty even plan to go there in person to build momentum for "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

Regarding this guy's enthusiasm, Wei Jin knew very well that although Bernard was listed on Nasdaq, its current market performance was completely inconsistent with expectations. Yu Dong planned to take this opportunity to show off his strength.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Wei Jin called the crew and prepared to shoot the next scene.
