During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 326 The mountain top is divided and exploded at a fixed angle
"For this investment, Mr. Xinli Cao's wife found me."

After listening to Fan Bingbing's explanation, Wei Jin nodded. This made sense.

In his early years, Cao Huayi followed Hai Yan, a big boss in the Beijing circle, and worked as the general manager of the latter's Zhongsheng Chunqiu Film and Television.

Later, with the decline of Haiyan, Cao Huayi, who felt that he was full-fledged, set out on his own and founded Xinli Media. He and Wang Changtian were alumni, and Lao Wang even held shares in Xinli. The relationship between the two was quite close.

In view of this, it is natural for Cao Huayi to get involved with this project.

But then Wei Jin frowned again.

"Cao Huayi is also from Beijing. How could he think of getting involved in such a project?"

"Uncle, the Beijing community is not monolithic. Mr. Cao's wife and Chen Hong are classmates. They are relatively close to Chen Daoming, Zhao Baogang, Yu Rongguang, Zhang Fengyi and others. They are on the same level as those old people and young people."

After listening to Fan Bingbing's explanation, Wei Jin suddenly realized that those old guys really failed.

Fan Bingbing watched the man's expression gradually soften, and began to act cute and coquettish again to beg for resources.

Thinking of this, Fan Bingbing stroked Wei Jin's abdominal muscles with one hand, leaned over and whispered in his ear:

The online reputation is also quite good, with an online rating of 7.8 on Impression. Many netizens who have seen it in theaters have left comments.

As of June 6, "The Founding of the Party" has been in theaters for 30 weeks, and the box office has exceeded 2 million.
But with the release of "The Raid", the box office was cut in half. In four days, the box office increased by less than 3000 million, and the single-day box office fell below 500 million. Even theaters have begun to adjust their film schedules.

When Fan Bingbing heard this, he smiled charmingly and lay on the bed consciously, raising his beautiful buttocks high and shaking it.

In terms of movie theaters, the film schedule has been falling again and again. Originally, Fatty Yu was pointing to a box office of over 100 million, but now this idea has directly stopped him. He just wants another 20 to 30 million box office to be able to recover his money.

After all, the films currently being released, namely "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The God of Wealth Inn" still have some box office potential.

Once "The Raid" fails to satisfy expectations at the box office, it means that Wei Jin is not invincible, and those jealous people in the circle who are already dissatisfied with him will swarm him.

Thanks to word-of-mouth fermentation, the box office of "The Raid" has been rising, and the box office soared to 2680 million the next day.

With the support of various external forces, Wei Jin believes that the box office performance will not be bad.

After all, China Film Group can reserve theaters, but the spontaneous business activities of private theaters are not regulated.

At the premiere, the most asked question by reporters was about "The Raid" which was released soon.

"Uncle, if you don't like it, I'll just reject it. From now on, I'll only show it to my uncle and ask him to praise me."

In the first four days of its first weekend, "The Raid" grossed 1.14 million at the box office.

Feeling the heat coming from his ears, Wei Jin felt his body begin to expand, and reached out to pat the woman's buttocks.

So far, "Fortune Inn" has taken in 4500 million yuan at the box office during its first week of release, and the single-day box office has been less than million yuan.

"The Raid" grossed 2190 million at the box office on its first day of release.

"Humph, then it depends on your performance."

Many people in the industry are envious of Lin Chaoxian and Wu Jing. In their opinion, this is purely a blessing from Wei Jin's script.

Sure enough, just two hours after July entered, Yinyin.com updated the first-day data of "The Raid".

"Uncle, sister-in-law will give you whatever you like. Please don't pity me tonight."

At this moment, the industry's attention is all on the upcoming "Martial Arts", and the pressure is instantly on Zhen Zhuan and Chen Kexin.

"Speaking of movies, haven't you already taken over Li Yu's new project? I heard there are many exciting scenes?"

"Well"

First of all, judging from the pre-sale of tickets on Impression.com, the audience is full of expectations for this movie.

No one expected that a movie with such a low production cost and such a thin main creative lineup would have the opportunity to achieve results that many blockbusters are daunted by.

The data may seem average, but you must know that the day of release is Thursday, and entering the weekend, the single-day box office may even exceed 30 million.

Crazy Gray Rabbit: "I like this kind of pure violence, high pleasure, and strong rhythm movies. Although I forgot what I was acting in after watching it, I was very happy during these two hours, super happy!"

But that's not the worst part. Wang Jing's "The God of Wealth Inn" dropped more than 70% of its box office in a single day.

This result directly caused a stir in the industry. According to this box office trend and reputation, it is almost certain that the box office of this movie will exceed 3 million, and there is even a good chance of exceeding 4 million.

Secondly, for this release, the theater chain's film schedule is also very strong. Whether it is Sunward Cinema, Wanda Cinema, or China Film's theaters, they have given extremely high film scheduling support.

"Uncle, I am already a big star. If I try to act in a TV series again, I will disgrace you and this is a man's drama. I won't act in it. You know, they want to be on the big screen. "

The entire film and television industry is paying attention to this movie, which cost 20 million, because this is the first time that a peer in the industry has taken the initiative to challenge Sunward Media.

After Fan Bingbing finished speaking, he buried his head on the man's chest and his lips began to wander.

Regarding the movie box office, Wei Jin is not worried at all.

"This is what you said, please don't call me daddy later."
-
On June 6, "The Raid" was released.

Paris Porridge: "The plot is lackluster, but I have to admit that the whole process is high-energy and the adrenaline is soaring."

With the gimmick of two major kung fu stars facing each other head-on, the previous publicity has been to the extreme.

However, as the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.

Entering the weekend, it ushered in explosive growth. On the third day, the single-day box office exceeded 3340 million, reaching 3230 million. On the fourth day, the box office reported million.

Fan Bingbing was secretly happy when he heard this. On the surface, this man didn't care about him, but in his heart, he didn't want to expose himself.

Wei Jin suddenly felt goosebumps appearing on his body. This woman was so good at playing. He immediately held her pair of threes and said jokingly while playing with them.

"Director Chen, the investment and promotion costs of "Martial Arts" are much higher than "The Raid". Are you sure you can beat it at the box office?"

"Director Chen Kexin is a well-known director in the industry, and the leading actors are international celebrities such as Zhen Zizi and Jin Chengwu. In terms of box office, we have absolute confidence."

Facing the media's camera, Tan Hong was the first to express her stance, at least not in terms of momentum.

"Then, Director Chen, what are your expectations for the box office of "Martial Arts"?"

Chen Kexin acted very calmly. In his mind, "The Raid" and "Martial Arts" are not on the same level at all.

"Guarantee 5 million, sprint for 7 million."
-
The focus of actors in the industry is different from that of production companies. No matter how smoke-filled the film market is, it has nothing to do with them.

But the casting of Wei Jin's new movie is a very important matter, so even though it is only a supporting role, there are quite a lot of people who come to submit their resumes, and the competition is very fierce. At this time, the benefit of having someone above you becomes apparent.

Shu Chang was in an extremely comfortable mood at this time. She had just finished filming "Magic Phone 2" and had gotten a huge deal. She wished she could hug Liu Yifei and kiss her.

"What are you enjoying? We're here."

Seeing her best friend's silly look, Liu Yifei reminded her loudly, and then she pulled Shu Chang out of her fantasy.

The two entered the Shanhe Building hand in hand. Under the entanglement of the receptionist, Shu Chang, who was coming to Shanhe Media for the first time, had no choice but to leave his signature and hurried to the conference room.

Naturally, it is indispensable to visit the showcases along the way.

"Wow, are the golden bears, golden palms, golden balls, and golden figures all made of pure gold?"

Shu Chang's eyes were full of desire, but Liu Yifei ignored it. She had played with these things many times.

Soon, the two came to the conference room, and actors came in one after another.

After a while, the main creative team of "Twenty Again" arrived.

Everyone was chatting, but after a while, Wei Jin walked in.

"Welcome everyone."

After a while of pleasantries, the script reading began.

Seeing the actors in front of him quickly getting into work, Wei Jin nodded with satisfaction.

For this filming, he planned to cut through the mess quickly, so he moved the reading meeting a few days in advance so that the actors could get into the mood early.

After three days of auditions, all the roles have been confirmed.

For the role of "Old Lady", I chose Wu Yanzhu, who has superb acting skills and has also appeared in "The Tuner". It is said that it is better to use familiarity than rawness.

For the role of "Dad", Wang Zhiwen was chosen. This actor's acting skills are not overwhelming and he is definitely a capable actor.

For the role of "servant", the original Wang Deshun was chosen, and Wei Jin highly recognized his performance in the movie.

It is worth mentioning that this role was decided directly by Wei Jin. After receiving the invitation call from the company, Wang Deshun, who is in his 70s, rushed over without saying a word, for fear of missing the opportunity.

I have to say that it is indeed not easy for elderly actors to get this kind of opportunity.

For the role of "daughter-in-law", Mary was chosen. Don't get me wrong, this Mary is not the same Mary as Happy Twist.

Mary, who has the same name and the same surname, was born in an orthodox Chinese opera class and is a classmate of Guo Tao. She is currently a national first-class actor and has quite good acting skills. At the age of 44, she is definitely suitable for playing the role of a frustrated daughter-in-law.

The fairly good soy sauce role of "Granddaughter" was given to Shu Chang. This was Liu Yifei's sudden idea when she learned that "Magic Phone 2" was completed a few days ago.

After the little girl begged and promised many benefits, Wei Jin smiled and agreed. After all, Shu Chang's acting skills were acceptable.

For the role of "Music Director", Wei Jin originally wanted Huang Xiaoming to play the role. Unfortunately, he learned that the latter had just joined the cast of "Blood Drops" and there was a schedule conflict, so he had no choice but to give up.

Liu Yifei also acted like a conspicuous person, calling Huang Xiaoming specifically to make the latter cry out that it was a pity.

In the end, this role was given to Wang Kai, who had a very good audition.

Wang Kai has become well-known in the industry with "Sword and Sword III" and "The Wind" in recent years. He himself also intends to get rid of the role of a sissy. This time he plays this role, which can be regarded as an attempt to transform.

The role of "assistant" is the follower of the music director in the film. There is not much role. Wei Jin gave it to Wang Zixuan, who can be regarded as playing the role in her own right. If she reveals her career line, she will become popular.

As for the male protagonist role of "grandson", Wei Jin finally chose his artist Bai Yu. This guy's acting skills are indeed good and worth cultivating.

This also made many artists in the company lament that this newcomer who just joined the company is so lucky.

Finally, there is the young version of "Old Li Tou" who rides a motorcycle at the end of the film. In the Korean original version, Kim Soo-hyun guest-starred. Wei Jin specially invited Liu Tianwang to come and guest-star this time, which can be regarded as a hidden Easter egg benefit.

Soon, a morning passed and the script reading was over. Wei Jin stood up and said to everyone:

"The start-up time is set for three days. At that time, the crew will set off together. During this time, everyone will become more familiar with the script. We will strive to complete the filming within 40 days."

Except for Bai Yu and Liu Yifei, everyone at the scene was working with Wei Jin for the first time. They were all a little surprised when they heard this. One movie in forty days, is this too efficient?

Shu Chang leaned close to Liu Yifei's ear and asked, "Does Director Wei always make movies so fast?"

Liu Yifei smiled slightly: "During the filming, he seemed to have the finished film in mind. He was always very fast. Didn't you see that the media called him [Quick Shooter]? Hehe."

When Shu Chang heard this, his head was full of black lines, Xixi, this is your man, is it really okay to say this?
-
As the party that initiated the challenge, Xingmei and the "Martial Arts" crew were obviously holding their breath.

On the first day of the movie's release, they were still promoting it hard.

""Martial Arts" is a real martial arts film that will definitely let you experience a different kind of 'Zhen Kung Fu'."

"Director Chen Kexin's ingenious production is definitely not to be missed. I hope everyone will come to the theater to support it!"

Unfortunately, today's audiences are wiser. Unless it is a director or cast with a strong appeal, on the first day of the new film's release, everyone is waiting for Shennong to taste the poison, so not many people bought tickets to watch "Martial Arts".

In the afternoon, movie reviews appeared on Impression.com, and many netizens couldn't help but feel lucky.

Going shopping barefoot: "The movie is too hollow, the routines are too old, and it's full of preaching."

Rose's Love: "It's a hodgepodge of martial arts, detective work, and fantasy. It's like the Republic of China version of Conan's story. In one word, chaos!"

"Hit, I can't understand, I can't explain clearly, it's depressing and awkward. Chen Kexin, is it so difficult to tell a good story? Originally, I thought "The Raid" was just average, but now it seems that it is a complete win."

Wuhan Sanma: "After watching half of the movie, I bought a new ticket and watched "The Raid" for the second time. The viewing experience was excellent. At least it was realistic and enjoyable."

Shortly after the early morning of that day, the first-day box office of "Martial Arts" was reported, which was 1600 million, and the score of Impression.com was also released, which was 5.6 points.

These two figures directly shocked the attention of people in the industry. You know, this is a popular summer season.

A commercial film with an investment of nearly 1.5 million, the box office on the first day was only 1600 million. The key is this reputation, there is no chance of counterattack.

Not to mention whether the previous boast of guaranteeing a minimum of 5 million and sprinting to 7 million can be realized. Now I am afraid that whether it can even recover the capital has become a question.

At the same time, the box office of "The Raid" on its fifth day was also released, with 2800 million.

The single-day box office gap of more than 1200 million indicates that the battle between Xingmei and Sunward Media, Zhen Zizi and Wu Jing has been decided in advance.

The latter wins!
