During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 330 The trial scene in the bathroom

The results of "Transformers 3" are indeed a miracle, a miracle all the way.

Starting from the second day, the single-day box office remained close to 4.2 million. In the four days of the first weekend, the movie box office directly exceeded million, setting a record for the highest box office in a single week and defeating many domestic movies.

The first one to bear the brunt is "The Raid". So far, after 25 days of release, the box office has reached 3.68 million. However, the single-day box office has been cut in half and then cut in half. It is already less than 4 million. It is obviously hopeless to break million.

The second is "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". It was released for 40 days and the box office reached 4.2 million. However, the single-day box office has dropped below one million. Although there is still a 50-day release period, the goal of 5 million will definitely not be achieved.

As for "Martial Arts", after three weeks of release, the box office revenue was 1.25 million. The single-day box office is already less than one million, and it has been announced that the producer will definitely lose money.

All the producers in the industry are feeling sad and can only watch this giant beast from across the ocean wreaking havoc in the film market, full of frustration but helpless.

More importantly, in the following months of August and September, there will also be a large number of imported blockbusters. I don’t know how many films will be able to break out of the encirclement and survive in the end——
Jinmen, the filming set of "Twenty Again".

For more than half a month, the filming progress of the movie has been quite satisfactory. According to this situation, Wei Jin estimates that all shooting tasks will be completed in about two weeks.

"Click."

"action."

Shu Chang put down the snacks in his hand, gave a thumbs up, and said with some emotion.

"By the way, sing, sing, how do you feel after being here for more than half a month?"

Wei Jin arranged a camera to take a lot of footage of him, and maybe it could be released later to slap those little freshmen in the face.

Looking at the picture on the monitor, Wei Jin nodded with satisfaction. The little girl finally understood.

"Click."

"Yifei, your eyes are wrong. This still doesn't work. I'll give you five minutes and try again."

This scene is between Liu Yifei and her servant Wang Deshun.

"It's strange, why does it take so long for Director Wei to go to the bathroom? Could it be that the dog ignored the buns in the morning? Is there something wrong?"

This shot naturally requires the cooperation of post-production special effects. For the actors, it is equivalent to no physical performance, and the eye scene is very important.

In the camera, Wang Deshun, who is in his seventies, is seen carefully holding a cotton swab to treat the bleeding spot on Liu Yifei's foot.

"One word to describe it, cow."

After Wang Zixuan finished speaking, she started working on her own without waiting for Wei Jin's reply.

Wei Jin also took the opportunity to smoke and browse the news on the Internet.

Behind the monitor, Wei Jin frowned.

Wang Zixuan wore the costume prepared by the crew, pushed Wei Jin into the bathroom, closed the door, then leaned down, showing off her full career line, raised her head and said with a flirtatious look:
"Director Wei, can you tell me about the play?"

Liu Yifei has great confidence in Wei Jin's physical fitness and has never seen him sick in these years.

In her opinion, Wei Jin's team has a detailed division of labor and efficient work. There is absolutely no second such team in the country.

But this lesson lasted only half an hour, and the crew was a little anxious.

"Attention all units, prepare for the thirty-second countdown."

The two were surprised to find that the skin at the bleeding site had returned to its old state.

Liu Yifei took a deep breath and began to prepare her emotions.

The two mainland parts are "Exploding Drummer" by Wei and Jin Dynasty and "Human Mountain and Sea of ​​People" by Cai Shangjun;
The two parts of Xiangjiang are Du Qifeng's "The Killer" and Xu Anhua's "Sister Tao";
The Wanwan film is the new film "Sediq Bale" by Wei Desheng, the director of "Cape No. 7" which set a box office record in Wanwan.

Bai Yu is clearly aware of his identity. Although his starring role in "The Exploding Drummer" has been shortlisted for the Golden Lion, he is still very active in the crew. Even if he does not have a role in the film, he will observe the performance of other teachers and even help with the scene. Do some chores.

The Venice Film Festival’s shortlists have been announced one after another. This year, a total of five Chinese-language films have been shortlisted for the main competition unit, which can be said to be a great harvest.

During a scene, Wei Jin came to the restroom prepared on the set. As soon as he was released, the bathroom door was opened, clicked, and then closed and locked.

"Okay, director."

The media has also reported extensively on this, hoping that Chinese-language films can win a golden lion.

Wang Zixuan also performed very well. Although she was asked to show off her career, she behaved very generously. She only looked at Wei Jin occasionally with some resentment in her eyes. After all, they got along with each other every day, but they couldn't eat meat. It was really hard to endure. Hard.

It is worth mentioning that another film, "Trace of the Japanese Pirates" by Xu Haofeng, a senior fellow from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, was also shortlisted for the Horizon section, and the jury chairman of this section happened to be Xu Haofeng's classmate, Section Chief Jia.

A few minutes later, Wei Jin put out his cigarette butt, walked to the monitor, and continued filming the scene just now.

Compared with the veteran actor who is over 70 years old, Liu Yifei's acting skills are really crushed in all aspects, so this scene has been filmed several times.

In terms of acting, with the patient professor Wang Zhiwen, Bai Yu, Wang Zixuan and others performed pretty well.

Shu Chang spoke the truth rather than a compliment. Her life on the set these days was really an eye-opener for her.

"Probably not. Aren't we all fine?"

"This one passed."
-
The filming of "Twenty Again" continues.

Although he was anxious to start work, going out with a tent was not a problem. Wei Jin had to patiently teach Wang Zixuan how to act.

Shu Chang asked worriedly while eating snacks with Liu Yifei. After all, she bought the breakfast.

In fact, Shu Chang's role had already been completed, but she had nothing to do, so she stayed on the set to spend time with her best friend, and to see how the Oscar-winning director works.

Turning around, Wei Jin's expression was slightly startled: "Zixuan, why did you come in?"

"Uh-huh, Zixuan, you really want to make progress too much."

After all, it operates according to the Hollywood management model. In this aspect alone, it dwarfs all domestic film crews.

In addition, it is not just the team that is sophisticated, all the equipment of the crew is also quite surprising to Shu Chang.

Just for the few cameras present and all the spare lenses, the total price was as high as more than 600 million US dollars.

In Shu Chang's opinion, this was simply unimaginable and too luxurious.

But after watching the playback of the footage on the monitor several times, Shu Chang understood again. No wonder Wei Jin's movies were so popular and the quality was so good.

Listening to her best friend's praise, Liu Yifei also felt proud, with a proud smile on her face.

"That's right, after filming my brother's movie, and thinking back to the previous crew, tsk tsk."

Looking at his best friend's appearance, Shu Chang made some teasing remarks.

"Xixi, please restrain yourself, your teeth are exposed." "Where are they? Sing, sing, you have such a mouth."

After the two laughed and laughed for a while, Wei Jin finally returned to the set.

Seeing Liu Yifei about to step forward, Wei Jin directly called the crew to start filming. After all, he still smelled of heather.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yifei could only adjust her state and prepare for the next scene.

Wei Jin went straight to the monitor and picked up the loudspeaker.

"Attention all units, there is a thirty-second countdown."

"action."
-
In the movie market, the strength of "Transformers 3" could not be maintained. After entering its second box office week, the daily box office has dropped to to million.

The reason is also very simple. The audience's expectations for this film are too high, but the reviews of the film are not good.

Firstly, there are too many advertisements, and various brands that do not match the robot, which really affects the movie-watching experience.

Secondly, the heroine was replaced, and the new heroine's appearance was too low, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the majority of movie fans.

The reason why the heroine was originally scheduled to be replaced was because Wei Jin heard Hunter mention what happened.

Perhaps it was because the first two "Transformers" movies were so popular that after this person suddenly became famous, she got a little carried away. She actually called the director a tyrant in public and compared him to Poleon the Great and Hitler.

This will annoy the producer Spielberg. You know, in North America now, if you offend the Jewish people who have the right to speak, there is basically no need to mess around.

No matter how popular you are, one sentence will make you get away as far as you want.

Meghan probably didn't expect that the matter would be so serious. It was really the words that caused the disaster.

However, the power of "Transformers 3" has been slightly reduced, which makes many production companies in the industry breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone is really afraid that this guy will make another "Avatar" show, and then it will really be difficult to live. .
-
The shooting time passed quickly, and in August, Ning Hao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came to visit the team.

"Has the filming of "Big Buddha" been finished?"

After briefly chatting with the crew, Wei Jin and Ning Hao sat together.

"Well, with Jiahe's cooperation, even though I can't compare to a fast shooter like you, I should be able to finish the job in three or four months."

After Ning Hao joked about it, he said to Wei Jin: "Thank you, junior brother."

Although there were only two short words, Ning Hao was really grateful. He was competing for the award-winning script and provided a filming team. Since they met, Wei Jin really had nothing to say to him.

"Senior brother, is there any need to talk about our relationship?"

Wei Jin smiled and handed over a cigarette and changed the subject. He didn't like to be sensational.

"By the way, what are your plans next?"

"I'm going to be very busy next time. I'm working on the later stages of "The Great Robbery" and "The Big Buddha". I'm afraid I won't be able to relax until November."

Wei Jin nodded when he heard this. According to the efficiency of ordinary directors, the post-production of two movies will take at least two or three months. Ning Hao is not like himself. He has the finished film in his mind for comparison. Whether it is editing or other aspects, he is needed. Think about it and keep improving.

After chatting for a while, Ning Hao seemed to think of something funny.

"Junior brother, you don't know that Wu Jing is very popular now. There are all reports about him in Xiangjiang. If you don't know, you think he is an actor in Xiangjiang, tsk tsk."

"It's normal. The media in Hong Kong is so pissy."

Wei Jin was not surprised. "The Raid" had been released two days ago. Despite the post-production pressure of "Transformers 3", it enjoyed a schedule bonus of nearly three weeks in the early stage, and the final box office revenue was 3.88 million.

Compared with the cost of production, promotion and distribution, which is less than 40 million, it is definitely a classic with a small scale.

As the leading actor, Wu Jing is absolutely famous, and his popularity is almost as high as that of Zhen Bull during the period of "Ip Man 2".

Seeing that there are no successors for actors in Hong Kong, Wu Jing, a mainland boy who was previously looked down upon by the Hong Kong media, has now transformed into what they call a "Kung Fu Hong Kong star". It must be said that it is very ironic.

After bragging with Ning Hao for a while, Wei Jin started a new shooting.

Ning Hao was not in a hurry to leave, so he spent the whole day on the set.

After the dinner party in the evening, Ning Hao rushed back to the capital with his assistant, while Wei Jin returned to his room.

After a brief rinse, before the little girl came over, Wei Jin sat on a chair and browsed industry information, and he actually saw an interesting piece of news.

"The Legend of White Snake" was lucky enough to be shortlisted for screening in Venice at the last minute. Now Yang Zi didn't know what his last name was.

It’s no wonder that the first exclusively produced film has been shortlisted for the three major module units in Europe. With Yang Zi’s arrogant character, is this a big deal?

No, this guy is directly sarcastically mocking his opponent on Weibo.

"You still have to be sincere when making movies. What can you do with 30 million yuan? You can't make "Painted Skin"! "The Legend of White Snake" is different. It cost 200 million yuan and has been shortlisted for three major film festivals. It will definitely be the most exciting magical blockbuster during the National Day holiday. , far better than other movies of the same type.”

Although the content does not mention "Painted Wall" at all, who with a discerning eye can't see it?
Wei Jin could only shake his head at Yang Zi's flirtatious operation, he was simply dumbfounded.

Although Wang Changtian is low-key in the industry and is very kind, and even often acts lowly in front of Wei and Jin, but if anyone really thinks that Lao Wang is easy to bully, it is a big mistake!
If nothing else, optical fiber comes from the TV broadcasting system. After more than ten years of operation, Lao Wang has absolutely no strength in the field of publicity channels.

Yang Zi, a stupid young man, was so humiliated. If Lao Wang swallowed his anger this time, he would be sorry for his surname as the Tiger King, and he would not have the shame to hang around in the industry in the future.

Wei Jin was sighing when Liu Yifei opened the door and came in.

"What are you looking at, brother?"

The little girl hugged Wei Jin's neck from behind and pressed on his back. Even through the thin cartoon pajamas, Wei Jin could fully feel the softness.

Wei Jin threw the phone aside, stood up, held the little girl in his arms, placed his hands on her hips, and slowly told the story.

"So, they will also go to the Venice Film Festival then?"

"Well, if you meet them at the scene, don't get too close to them, or you might make a fool of yourself."

While using his hands, Wei Jin reminded them that he really didn't want to deal with those two people.

"Hmm~"

Liu Yifei nodded obediently, with a pair of big eyes looking at her, obviously a little emotional.

Looking at the girl's appearance, Wei Jin moved his index finger.

With his hands flying up and down, Wei Jin quickly peeled off Liu Yifei and pressed her back with his backhand. The girl lay on the bed and thoughtfully placed a pillow under her belly.

"Yifei, you are so sensible. My brother is here to love you."
