During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 362 Ai, the moxa of mugwort

Beijing, newly painted crown.

After several days of phone calls, Zhang Weiping showed a proud smile on his face.

As he expected, the major production companies in the industry had long been dissatisfied with the box office share ratio, and they immediately agreed to his proposal.

The only requirement is that he needs to take the lead, and the reason is very good. Who told you that Zhang Dapao is experienced?
Zhang Weiping had no objection to this. This leading brother was his default position. The others only had to be good little brothers and follow him.

"Hmph, a group of timid guys are destined to be supporting roles."

"Mr. Zhang, why don't we call Shanhe Media?"

The secretary was a little confused. In terms of strength, although Shanhe Media was not listed on the market, no one could deny its status as the number one company in the industry.

"No need to ask any more questions, I'll think about it myself."

Regarding the secretary's doubts, Zhang Weiping had considered it many times before and finally decided to leave Sunward Media aside.

"action."

Although Wei Jin helped promote it on Weibo after attending the premiere, it was still of no use.

The box office of more than 1 million on the first day directly sentenced this movie to death at the box office.

Wei Jin really couldn't refute Guo Fan's reason.

The secretary knew that this movie viewing party would be a battlefield between the two sides.

“It’s a pity”

"The issue of box office sharing should not be a big problem. Next, we have to consider the promotion of "Thirteen Hairpins"."

The two established a preliminary teacher-student relationship in the small classroom.

"Mr. Wei, the casting for "Ex Machina" is out, take a look."

Putting away his sigh, Wei Jin stubbed out his cigarette butts and threw them into the trash can, then turned and walked towards the monitor.

Secondly, the cast of this movie, whether it is director Han Jie or actor Wang Baoqiang, does not have box office appeal.

Wei Jin continued to nod. Although this person is a Wanwan actor, he has been in the industry for more than 20 years, has appeared in hundreds of film and television dramas, and has diligently created countless classic roles. He does not have a bad history, so we can cooperate.

"As for Zhang Tianai, the second female lead, she is mainly beautiful and cheap, haha."

When the scene was over, Guo Fan immediately handed the list to Wei Jin.

Although Zhang Luyi is in his thirties, he is in pretty good shape. Plus, he is from a Chinese opera major, so he doesn't have to worry about his acting skills. He should have no problem playing the lead male role.

Wei Jin nodded in approval. He had a good impression of this woman who had had in-depth communication with him, no matter in her past or present life.

"Ka, this scene has passed, prepare for the next one."

Wei Jin estimates that the final box office of this movie will be just over 10 million.

Seeing that the scene was being filmed, Guo Fan didn't bother him and just watched from the side, stealing some lessons from the scene.

Thinking of this, Zhang Weiping turned on his computer and created a document.
At the movie market, "Mr. Tree" was released.

"Go and check it out. The film viewing party between the media and theaters is scheduled for the 15th."

"what about others?"

"As for the second male lead, Zhang Chengguang is born with a wealthy temperament, which is very suitable for this role. He has been in the industry for many years and his acting skills are unquestionable."

"Tell me why you chose them."

"Wan Qian's acting skills are very good, especially for playing rational characters like robots. She is very talented."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang."

Looking at the situation on the set, Wei Jin knew that the crew was ready, so he immediately picked up the loudspeaker and shouted without hesitation.

First, Zhang Weiping could not forget the incident of being sniped by Wei and Jin.

Even the movie channel gave it a very high rating, praising it as a very down-to-earth literary film.

"This person's appearance and temperament are very suitable for an otaku programmer. His acting skills are also good. Most importantly, he is very cheap."

After sending his secretary away, Zhang Weiping stayed alone in the office and his thoughts began to wander.

However, the online reputation is overwhelmingly positive, with a score of 8.3 on Impression.com.

Guo Fan attaches great importance to his first movie.

Today's scene is the first time the heroine went to a cram school and met an amiable and approachable tutor.

Looking at the list in his hand, Wei Jin was a little surprised, but he didn't want to interfere in the casting, he was just curious about Guo Fan's thoughts.

Perhaps because they have known each other for many years, both Jing Tian and Zhang Songwen worked very well together. Several shots were almost shot in one shot, and the filming went very smoothly.

Secondly, Shanhe Media has its own theater chain. Although it has introduced strategic investors and is in the final stage of listing, it is not a dominant company. But as an insider, how could Zhang Weiping not know how many shares Wei Jin holds in it? ?
If he really calls Shanhe Media, there is no chance that Wei Jin will turn around and expose his plan to other theaters, acting as a mole.

For this casting selection, Guo Fan conducted character analysis for each role. Regardless of appearance, temperament or acting skills, he strived to be the best.

First of all, the audience for literary films is indeed too small.

Then this battle that has not yet been launched is probably going to end early.

It took him two days to finally select an actor he was satisfied with from the audition list, and then hurried to the filming set of "Bottom Girl".

"Haha, you kid."

Wei Jin smiled and patted Guo Fan on the shoulder. There were a little more than four roles in this drama, and one was finally reserved for an actor from Nortel, which also gave his alma mater some face.

"Okay, that's it. We'll announce it later."

"Okay, I'll go to the company later."

After dismissing Guo Fan, Wei Jin walked to the monitor and started a new shooting.

This scene is the cram school student played by Bai Yu, who comes to the cram school for the first time.

As a teacher, Zhang Songwen learned that the main reason why he didn't want to study was to get revenge on his father, so he proposed a more "cruel" way of revenge.

"Click."

Wei Jin looked at Bai Yu, whose hair was dyed yellow and looked a bit awkward in the camera, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This one has been passed, and the next one is ready."

In the afternoon, Sunward Media announced the cast list for "Ex Machina."

Looking at this list, many netizens began to make fun of it.

"As expected of a director from Nortel, Director Guo Fan's casting is very artistic. There is only one person who has the least roles, who is from Nortel and is a student in the advanced training class, haha."

"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid it's not pressure from the school, right? Haha."

"Just because of this operation, Guo Fan will definitely be a great director in the future!"

As Wei Jin's personal assistant, Huang Mengying naturally had to stay on set during the filming of the movie.

After finishing the day's shooting, seeing her boss leaving with Jing Tian, ​​Huang Mengying knew that she would have to stay alone in the empty room again tonight.

After taking a taxi back to the artist's apartment prepared by the company, Huang Mengying was hugged by a tall woman as soon as she entered the room, and their bodies were pressed tightly together.

"Mengying, I succeeded. I got the role of the second female lead, the second female lead in the movie."

Listening to Zhang Tianai's somewhat incoherent expression, Huang Mengying was also happy for her. The two joined the company together and often lived together. They had a very good relationship and often talked about each other's work. Huang Mengying naturally knew how fierce the competition was this time.

I saw Huang Mengying patting Zhang Tianai on the back, as if comforting and encouraging, but his words were teasing.

"Congratulations, Tian Ai, you are the second female lead right from the beginning. I am afraid you will become famous in the future. We should not forget each other even if we are rich or noble."

Listening to his friend's joke, Zhang Tianai reached out and scratched Huang Mengying's armpit.

"You damn girl, you have Mr. Wei as your backer, and you still come to tease me?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, stop now"

While making evasive movements, Huang Mengying begged for mercy.

"Huh, look, you're still making fun of me."

After some fun, Zhang Tianai pulled Huang Mengying to the dining table.

"Hey, I've learned to cook some Sichuan food. I don't know if you like it or not."

Looking at the dishes from her hometown on the table, Huang Mengying was a little moved. Just as she was about to say something, her stomach growled.

"Haha, stop being pretentious and wash your hands and eat."

As the ancients said, you don't talk during eating or sleeping, but girls talk the most when eating and sleeping.

The two of them chatted while eating the food.

"Mengying, why did Mr. Wei give me this name? Tianai, that's strange, Tianai is pretty much the same."

After taking a bite of braised eggplant, Huang Mengying licked her lips with her tongue.

"Whether God loves you or not, what does it matter?"

Zhang Tianai didn't know why, "Where's Ai that day? What's the point?"

Huang Mengying coughed dryly, feeling that her thoughts were a bit dirty, but it was perfectly normal for girls to have sex together.

"Look, moxa is the moxa of mugwort, mugwort, mugwort every day, do you understand?"

Zhang Tianai was stunned for a moment, muttered a few times, and then immediately reacted, his pretty face flushed with embarrassment.

"Okay, Mengying, you are getting more and more dirty now, let's see how I deal with you tonight."

As he spoke, Zhang Tianai stretched out his finger and poked Huang Mengying's Xuezi. The latter dodged while declaring his sovereignty.

"Hey, don't forget, this is my room, you are next door."

"So what? I want to be the boss tonight and sleep with my little assistant, Xiao Mengying. Just obey me, hahaha."

The next day, when Wei Jin saw Huang Mengying on the set, he was a little surprised. Why did this girl look so haggard?

"Mengying, you didn't have any rest last night, okay?"

"Ah, boss, I was so excited chatting with Tian Ai last night that I didn't pay attention to the time and went to bed late."

Facing the boss's inquiry, Huang Mengying felt guilty, and then she complained about Zhang Tianai in her heart.

Last night, I had to use my hands and feet, which made me uncomfortable. I had no choice but to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night to manually relieve the itching. As a result, I couldn't sleep well all night.

"Then you can go to the car and take a nap later. The crew doesn't need you here."

Wei Jin nodded and didn't ask any more questions. It was normal for girls to stay up late chatting together.

Taking advantage of the crew's arrangements, Wei Jin made news on the Internet.

"The King's Feast" directed by Lu Chuan has finally been completed.

This movie took 13 months from preparation to start-up and now completion.

As soon as the news came out, netizens spontaneously gave Lu Chuan a nickname: "Lu Manman".

Obviously, this was not a compliment to him for working slowly and carefully, but a simple mockery of this guy's procrastination.

Seeing this news, Wei Jin guessed that Yinghuang and Xingmei were relieved that it was finally over.

However, the production cost of 1.4 million yuan will require at least 4 million box office in China to recover the cost.

Although he had never seen this movie in his previous life, Wei Jin felt that with Lu Chuan's level, there was probably no hope.

"Boss Yang and Qin, I'm afraid they will suffer another blood loss."

After sighing, Wei Jin put away his mobile phone, walked straight to the monitor, and started a new day of shooting.
The filming time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since the filming of "Bottom Girls" was launched.

The progress of the filming is also very gratifying, almost half of the scenes have been completed.

Ending today's scene early, Wei Jin changed his clothes in the nanny car and prepared to attend the premiere of "33 Days After Love".

As Mr. Xue's first commercial film, Wei Jin still had to show face to attend.

The production cost of this movie was only 20 million, and it was produced solely by Shanhe Media. The premiere was naturally small, and was held at the flagship store of Shanhe Cinemas in Beijing.

Despite this, there are still many celebrities and industry insiders coming to support, so the stars on the red carpet are still bright.

"Director Wei, how much do you think the box office of this movie will be?"

"I have seen the finished film. Director Xue Xiaolu did a great job, and Yang Mi and Wang Kai also gave everyone wonderful performances. The audience will not be disappointed. As for the box office, I conservatively estimate that it will be more than 4 million."

Ignoring the exclamations of the media reporters, Wei Jin walked onto the red carpet with a smile on his face, but Jing Tian's appearance appeared in his mind.

I have to say that the little girl is quite responsible for her movie. Since the filming of the movie started, she has stopped participating in all activities and devoted herself to the role.

Wei Jin decided that she must be rewarded well after the film is completed.

As a movie heroine, Yang Mi was the most shining presence in the audience today, frequently walking among the guests.

But when he saw Wei Jin entering the arena alone, Yang Mi gave up socializing in an instant and came over to greet him.

"Brother, you are here."

Looking at the carefully dressed Yang Mi in front of him, Wei Jin's eyes lit up.

At this time, Yang Mi had exquisite makeup on her face, and her flaming red lips were full of temptation.

Wearing a black deep V sleeveless dress, the plump and milky white snow can't be covered at all, which is extremely eye-catching.

Paired with a pair of red high heels, the advantage of long legs is fully demonstrated, and she looks like a queen of the night.

"Mimi, you are so beautiful today."

Listening to the man's unabashed praise, the smile on Yang Mi's face grew thicker and she winked at Wei Jin.

"Senior brother, do you have time tonight?"

While talking, Yang Mi had already put his arm on Wei Jin's arm, and the milky-white Xuezi pressed tightly against him.

Feeling the soft touch, a smile appeared on Wei Jin's lips.

"Mi Mi, I want to fill you up tonight."

Hearing the man's provocative words, 25-year-old Yang Mi couldn't help but tighten her legs.

Just as he was about to continue saying something, the staff came to greet him, and the premiere was about to begin.

There was nothing flashy about today's premiere. The creators chatted about interesting things about the filming on the stage, and then started to play the main film.

Listening to the constant laughter and laughter at the scene, Wei Jin knew that the box office must be stable.
