During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 329 Shortlisted Straight Male Miracle
While the industry is still speculating on the schedule of "Pacific Rim", the Venice Film Festival officially announced the first list of finalists for the main competition unit.

"Exploding Drummer" is on the list!
As soon as the news came out, the entire film industry was abuzz, and a large number of media immediately focused on Wei Jin.

"The musical and artistic film "Breaking Drummer" directed by director Wei Jin has been confirmed to be shortlisted for the main competition of the Venice International Film Festival"

"After winning the Palme d'Or in Cannes and the Golden Bear in Berlin, Director Wei Jin launches his first bid for the Golden Lion in Venice. Will he become the first Chinese director to win the three highest awards in Europe?"

The media is reporting in full swing, and directors, artists, and friends who are familiar with the industry have also sent congratulatory messages.

"Lao Wei, you are awesome. My sister's acting skills are really good. Next time you make a literary film, consider taking me to visit the three major European companies."

"Boss, congratulations"

"Brother, you are awesome."

"Xiao Jin, come on!"

"Uncle, my sister-in-law wants it."

Seeing that Wu Jing's movie can produce results this time, Xie Nan is also sincerely happy for him.

"How about let's go see a movie?"

"What do you think? Where did you put your hand?"

Seeing Wu Jing acting like a straight man, Xie Nan rolled his eyes and asked angrily.

"Nannan, I succeeded. I am the leading actor with a box office of 3 million. I finally succeeded."

After hanging up the phone, he saw Liu Yifei running and jumping on top of him. Fortunately, Wei Jin was strong, so he swayed twice and then stood still.

"Brother, I'm so happy. We're going to Venice soon, mua, mua"

Not long after, bursts of fairy sounds came from the house.——
In the movie market, "The Raid" is the dominant one.

"."

But Wu Jing, who is the core of the team, is busy with his own personal affairs at the moment.

After contacting Wu Jing, Xie Nan's idol filter was shattered on the ground.

"oops!"

Breathing the masculine energy from Wu Jing and feeling his heartfelt excitement, Xie Nan, who wanted to break away, calmed down and quietly shared the joy of this "big boy".

"Pah! Yifei, do you want to murder your husband?"

"I don't care, I'm just happy."

Various commercial endorsements and press releases floated to Wu Jing like snowflakes, and his team was instantly busy.

Wu Jing scratched his head and said with some embarrassment that his hand had indeed slipped just now.

"Wei Jin, among the students I have taught for so many years, you are definitely the most dazzling. I am very proud to have a student like you."

Wu Jing was not only outspoken, but also felt a little frivolous to her. The time he was on the show made Xie Nan pick her feet with embarrassment.

For a time, Wu Jing became the most popular kung fu superstar, and his popularity soared.

"As you command, ma'am."

Wei Jin smiled and hugged the little girl's slender waist. It was obvious that she was very excited. The pair of beautiful legs clamped around his waist were very powerful.

But he couldn't stand this guy's persistent pursuit. After almost a year, Xie Nan had lost his temper. The two of them were in a state of friendship rather than full love.

Wu Jing mustered up the courage to ask Xie Nan out. As soon as they met, he held the latter tightly in his arms and was reluctant to let go.

As of now, three weeks after its release, the movie's box office has successfully exceeded 3 million, reaching 3.48 million.

While speaking, Wei Jin slapped the little girl's round and tight buttocks.

A blush appeared on Xie Nan's slightly heroic face, and she didn't even notice it. There was a hint of coquettishness between lovers in the scolding tone just now.

Xie Nan had a bad feeling and asked tentatively:

"It can't be that fast. There's still more than a month left."

"Thank you, teacher, for your troubles over the years. I will never forget your teachings, nor will I forget my promise to you. I will definitely get back the three major European and Oscar trophies."

"Look at how stupid you are, you asked me out, what are we doing now?"

"Yifei, since you are so happy, you have to celebrate tonight."

Wei Jin freed up a hand, scraped the girl's nose, and then touched her conscience.

"Hmm~~Brother, tonight, I want you to be a little wilder."

Speaking of which, Xie Nan is a fan of Wu Jing, but what she likes is the handsome young man with red lips and white teeth on the Great Wall, wearing white clothes and doing Tai Chi.

"Hehe, I couldn't help myself just now, Nannan, don't be angry."

The beauty invited her, how could Wei Jin refuse? He untied her restraints and put the little girl's legs on his shoulders.

Wei Jin was very moved by the instructor's words.

The warm and quiet atmosphere was broken, and Wu Jing let out a cry of pain.

"Nannan, why are you pinching me?"

Even his mentor Tian Zhuangzhuang made a rare call.

"What are you looking at?"

"Let's watch "Transformers 3", the robot battle, it's so exciting."

"."

Xie Nan slapped his forehead, his mind was full of black lines, he was really a straight man.

After dressing up in disguise, the two came to the flagship store of Shanhe Cinema.

“There are so many people, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to buy tickets, right?”

Xie Nan looked at the long queue in front of her and felt a little lucky. She was not interested in robots or anything like that.

"Hey, you think I'm stupid, dang dang dang. Look what is this?"

As if offering a treasure, Wu Jing took out two movie tickets from his pocket and added with a proud expression on his face.

“The previous two movies were so popular, so I specially made a reservation online.”

"Well, you are really smart."

Xie Nan was no longer able to complain and followed Wu Jing to the movie theater. The scene in the hall shocked her. Even the usual side seats were filled with people. It seemed that there were so many straight men.

Following the numbers on the tickets, the two found their seats and sat down side by side.

While the movie was starting, Xie Nan and Wu Jing chatted quietly.

"You have such good results this time, please remember to thank Mr. Wei."

"Well, I know for sure that Director Wei really has nothing to say to me."

Wu Jing's tone was filled with emotion. The entertainment industry needs the support of noble people. There is no doubt that Wei Jin is his noble man. "The Raid" has not been released yet, and "Slaying the Wolf 2" has already sent invitations again. This kind of love I don’t know when I can pay it back.

"When Director Wei comes back from Jinmen, let's treat him to a meal."

"What's 'we'? I'm not your kind of person."

"This" Looking at Wu Jing's deflated look, Xie Nan pursed his lips and smiled. Big boys are quite interesting too——
Wu Jing still doesn't know that Wei Jin, the noble man he cares about, is in the capital at the moment.

Inside the China Film Office.

"Director Han, the special effects shots have been completed and I have arranged for them to be sent to North America."

Wei Jin picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He had to say that the tea served by this old guy Han Sanping was really good.

When I came back this time, I mainly discussed the schedule of "Pacific Rim" with Han Sanping. After all, it is a US$1.5 million co-production and deserves a good schedule. For this reason, he also gave the crew a day off so that everyone could have a good time in Tianjin. Have fun.

"Well, what do you think about the schedule?"

"I think there is no need to rush. The domestic film market is expanding every day, so we can wait."

Wei Jin then expressed his thoughts. Warner had an idea and planned to release it at the end of this year, but he felt it was not a good choice. Young people are the real moviegoers for this kind of film, both at home and abroad. It’s best to put it in the summer season.

"Well"

Listening to Wei Jin's words, Han Sanping fell into deep thought. He had to admit that what Wei Jin said made sense.

"But in this case, this investment, including the payback period, will take a full two and a half years to see a return. I will be under great pressure."

"Director Han, it's only a matter of half a year. The payment will definitely be within next year's accounting cycle, so it won't have much impact."

Wei Jin had to take pains to persuade Han Sanping. After all, he still had his own selfish motives.

"Besides, believe it or not, if this film is scheduled to be released for the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival this year, the outside world will immediately uproar. The lessons learned from "Avatar" are not far away."

Hearing this, Han Sanping couldn't help but frown. This is indeed a big problem. If the box office results are quite impressive, this political performance can be used to withstand the pressure. But before it is released, who can say for sure? ?
Thinking of this, Han Sanping decided to play it safe.

"Okay, then we'll schedule it for next summer."

Hearing this, Wei Jin showed a smile on his face, and finally persuaded this old guy who was so happy about his success.

"Director Han, believe me, there will be surprises in the summer. "Transformers 3" released today will be the best example."

"Oh? Are you so optimistic?"

"Facts speak louder than words. In about ten hours, we will see the truth."

Wei Jin thought of the grand scene in front of the major movie theaters on the way to China Film and Television, and he had a hunch that the box office of this film on the first day would set a shocking record.

"Okay, let's take a look."

Han Sanping didn't argue, but then he remembered something.

"By the way, I've arranged for the movie "Source Code" to be released at the end of next month. Do you think it's done?"

"Director Han, if you approve the film for 300 million U.S. dollars, you will make a profit no matter what."

Wei Jin replied nonchalantly, saying that the production cost of this film was not high, and he didn't bother to bother with it, so he simply sold it directly to China Film in the form of a batch of films.

"Well, that's true."

After chatting with Old Hantou for a while, Wei Jin revealed the second purpose of coming today.

"Director Han, I plan to put "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" in the second half of the Lunar New Year season."

This film completed all post-production at the end of last month, and it was time to choose a schedule.

"Good boy, is this what you have in mind for your relationship?"

Han Sanping laughed and cursed, not minding it. Although China Film Group did not invest much in this film, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. Then he joked again.

"Okay, but "The Secret of the Dragon" is in mid-December, are you going to beat yourself up?"

"There's no way, there are only so many schedules, it's unavoidable."

Wei Jin shrugged and expressed his helplessness. As more and more movies were controlled by Sunward Media, internal strife within the family was bound to happen sooner or later, so they could only stagger the schedule——
After leaving Zhongying, Wei Jin came to Dongshan Villa. Today is Jing Tian's birthday, so there still needs to be a sense of ceremony.

After a warm dinner, Wei Jin personally put on the birthday gift, a platinum and diamond necklace, for the little girl.

Looking carefully in front of the mirror, Jing Tian had a smile on his face.

"Brother, I like it very much"

"Well, as long as you like it, Tiantian, come and blow out the candles."

Wei Jin lit the candles on the cake and pulled the little girl to sit down.

"Ah."

Jing Tian looked at the candlelight, clasped his hands and made a silent wish in his heart, then opened his eyes and blew out all the candles in one breath.

"Tiantian, what wish did you make?"

Holding the little girl in his arms, Wei Jin admired the 23-year-old Jing Tian's beautiful face at close range. She really had fair skin and beautiful skin, and her skin was as smooth as fat. She lived up to her reputation as a flower of wealth in the world.

"Brother, your wish won't work if you say it. How about you guess?"

Looking at the little girl's big black eyes, Wei Jin smiled. It was hard to guess the girl's thoughts, but what's the harm in playing this childish game with her?
"Well"

Wei Jin pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and showed joy as if he had guessed the answer. Jing Tian looked at the man expectantly, hoping that the two of them had a good understanding.

"Tiantian, I guess you must want to give birth to a fat baby for our old Wei family as soon as possible."

As soon as Wei Jin's words came out, Jing Tian's pretty face fell instantly, and her weak fist fell on him.

"What, brother, you don't pay attention at all, you are too perfunctory."

Wei Jin took the opportunity to hug the girl into his arms and kissed her on her delicate lips.

"Tiantian, this Spring Festival, come home with me. It's time for the ugly daughter-in-law to meet her parents."

When the girl heard this, she was stunned for a moment and her big eyes became misty.

"Okay, Tiantian, be happy. Today is your birthday. It will be ugly if you cry."

Jing Tian burst into laughter upon hearing this and gave the man a light blow.

"It's not your fault"

Seeing the little girl crying and laughing, Wei Jin had a joking expression on his face and made some teasing remarks.

"Then if you don't want to, forget it."

When Jing Tian heard this, he immediately became anxious, his pretty face turned red from suppressing it, and his voice was almost inaudible.

"I didn't say I wasn't willing. I miss Uncle Wei and Uncle Wei too."

Seeing the girl's shy look, Wei Jin really fell in love with her and stood up to pick the girl up.

"Tiantian, I only have one night. A good night is too short. Let's get some rest early."

Hanging her hands around Wei Jin's neck, Jing Tian nodded gently. She had been idle for more than half a month, and she missed him too.

"Well~~Brother, I will listen to you."
-
Just when Wei Jin and Jing Tian were going through a storm, Impression.com updated the first-day box office data of "Transformers 3".

1.22 billion!
As soon as this number came out, it blinded everyone's eyes. After repeatedly confirming that it was correct, the entire film industry was excited!

You know, the previous single-day record was 5900 million held by "Passengers", but the number of "Transformers 3" has more than doubled, which is really terrifying!

According to this first-day result, if the reputation does not collapse in the future, neither the media nor industry insiders can imagine what the final results of this movie will be.

Even Han Sanping didn't expect that this movie could achieve such a box office, but after checking the age distribution of moviegoers, he somewhat understood Wei Jin's plan, and he is looking forward to repeating this miracle next summer with "Pacific Rim."
