During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 377 The Wolf Is Coming Liu Xiaoli’s Dangerous Thoughts
Xue Xiaolu was very concerned about his second movie. He took advantage of his break to draw the scene script and came to Wei Jin specifically for advice.

To be honest, Wei Jin is not good at movies with female themes, but he happened to have seen this movie and gave a lot of suggestions.

"Teacher Xue, when do you plan to turn on the phone?"

Putting the storyboard on the desk, Wei Jin asked.

"In mid-January, you know, Nortel has exams."

"No problem, come on your own time."

Wei Jin expressed his understanding. Xue Xiaolu was a professor from Nortel, but unlike ordinary professors, she really had to lead classes. It was very reasonable to choose this time to turn on the computer.

"By the way, how are the preparations for the crew going? I asked Chen Xi to assist you?"

Xue Xiaolu was overjoyed when he heard this. Chen Xi was Wei Jin's official producer, and his ability was undoubted. With such a skilled person, filming was much easier.

"That's great. This filming will take place in Seattle and Vancouver. It would be great if Chen Xi can come with us. But will it be too much trouble for her?"

At the negotiation table, representatives from across the ocean indeed accused China Film’s policy of being xenophobic and not open enough, and demanded an increase in the number of imported films and the ratio of revenue sharing.

This negotiation is not optimistic, because the domestic side obviously does not have an advantage in the WTO lawsuit.

The news that Han Sanping mentioned before has come, and the news in the official media has been on the headlines.

Wei Jin shook his head and rejected the proposal. "Xunlong Jue" had eaten alone this time, which had already caused dissatisfaction. If it were postponed any longer, it would really be a bit greedy.

"Made, you are such a thief"

This matter is different from Zhang Weiping's petty quarrels. When you join a relevant organization, you really need to abide by the rules of the game, so the industry has a hunch that this negotiation may not be optimistic.

"What do you want to do?"

"No, that's not necessary. We've already eaten enough."

After Chen Zhiming sat down, he picked up the mineral water on the reception table and took a sip before continuing to explain.

Due to the large number of countries and film companies in Europe, the sale of overseas copyrights is relatively cumbersome. Generally speaking, one chooses a powerful blockbuster company and packages it directly for sale.

As he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Lao Chen finally had time to report.

This has also caused a large number of domestic film companies to be directly abandoned. Anyway, there is a domestic protection month, so everyone just sits back and makes money.

But Wei Jin didn't expect that as soon as the news came out, many people came to the door, so they left it all to Chen Zhiming to deal with.

"It's okay, just treat it as traveling with the crew, haha."

Regarding this ridiculous operation, Wei Jin could only shake his head. Why have you signed up for so many items? Have you, Zhang Weiping, prepared the funds for public relations? What nonsense.

Just looking at the attached registration form, Wei Jin was speechless.

Zhang Weiping actually signed up for all the nominations for "Thirteen Hairpins". Counting Best Foreign Language Film, there were a total of 14 nominations, and none of them failed.

"There are so many thieves."

In 2001, China signed bilateral agreements with Western countries in order to join the WTO.

After chatting for a few more words, Xue Xiaolu said goodbye and left. Wei Jin picked up the small card on the table and fell into deep thought.

There are many smart people, and everyone can guess that with the increase in imported films, the only ones that can compete are special effects blockbusters.

"Mr. Wei, what they call cooperation is that they want to invest in Shanhe Ink and take a share of the special effects business."

There have been many times before where I was hurt by imported blockbusters. In most cases, I cried to the film bureau, but other than that, I couldn't do anything.

Wei Jin nodded. Since 05, the company has invested billions in Shanhe Ink Painting over the years. If these people really want to invest, they must at least be valued at tens of billions before he will consider it.

But after thinking about it, Wei Jin understood Zhang Weiping's idea, which was nothing more than continuing to hype up the film. Since there was no cost to register, it was time to increase the popularity of "Thirteen Hairpins".

For production companies in the industry, this news is tantamount to announcing that the wolf is coming.

Seeing Lao Chen's desire to complain, Wei Jin had some suspicions in his mind, but he still asked.

The agreement had just expired during this period, and a new round of talks could not wait to start.

After some complaints, Wei Jin solemnly filled out his choice on the card.

Then Lao Chen chatted with Wei Jin about gossip.

"Isn't that right? Why did you go there earlier? We worked so hard on special effects and how much money did we spend to get in? Now I want to pick peaches and eat them. I told them directly. If you want to cooperate, it's okay. If you want to become a shareholder, then The valuation needs to be calculated clearly.”

"Hey, Mr. Wei, you don't even know how naive these people are."

As the leading special effects company in the industry, Shanhe Ink's future business growth is obvious, and investing in advance is definitely beneficial.

Wei Jin estimated that when the new policy comes down, these domestic film companies may cry for their father and mother.

What's more, a billion dollar gambling shouldn't be a big problem, so there's no need to care about that little profit.

"Mr. Wei, I heard that Zhang Weiping applied to postpone the release of "Thirteen Hairpins" for half a month, but the film bureau rejected it. Do you want to try "The Secret of the Dragon"?"

Wei Jin nodded, and it was indeed similar to what he had guessed.

You must know that in recent years, domestic policies have indeed protected domestic films. According to previous requirements, no less than 20 imported films should be divided every year. In fact, there are really not more than one in China.

The annual Oscar nominations are about to begin. In order to ensure his status as a judge, Wei Jin must fill in his opinions.

"At first, I wanted to work with us on a movie. After I declined, I asked to work with us on special effects. I thought it would be a good thing to have clients come to us. But what do you think they want to do?"

"By the way, has the time for MK2 been set?"

MK2 is one of the largest distribution companies in Europe. It even has its own theaters in many countries, and its strength is beyond doubt.

Previously, the European copyrights of many films of Shanhe Media were also cooperated with this company.

The box office performance of "The Secret of the Dragon" is quite impressive. Many overseas film producers have already taken the initiative to inquire about the price, and MK2 is one of them.

However, in order to prevent a single film company from lowering the price, Sunward Media also invited many other film companies, such as the old European Europa Film Company.

"We have made an appointment and they will come early next month."

"Okay, you will be responsible for interviewing me then."

Without waiting for Chen Zhiming's answer, Wei Jin added another sentence.

"Don't bring Wu Ershan with you."

"Okay, Mr. Wei."

Before you know it, the Lunar New Year season is already halfway through, and "The Secret of the Dragon" has been released for ten days.

The so-called boss fights with the second, and the third and fourth suffer. This is the current film market.

"The Secret of the Dragon" dominated the box office, taking 6% of the Lunar New Year box office, followed closely by "The Thirteen Hairpins", taking 3% of the box office share.

The two movies combined completely occupied more than 9% of the Lunar New Year market.

Including Xu Cairen's new film "Close Enemies", Tang Wei and Zhang Baizhi's "Speed ​​Angel", Zhou Dongyu and Dou Xiao's "Love in a Fallen City", the rest of the domestic films were all rubbed against the ground by the two blockbusters. , no one was spared.

The media is reporting on the achievements of the two blockbusters every day.

"After 10 days of release, "The Secret of the Dragon" has a box office of over RMB 5.11 million, making it the Lunar New Year champion. The single-day box office is still above RMB 3500 million, and the RMB 10 billion bet is expected to be reached."

""The Thirteen Hairpins" was released for 16 days, and the box office reached 4.8 million. The single-day box office was less than million, and the goal of billion is out of reach."

"With the New Year's Day holiday approaching, the film market will usher in a climax, with many blockbusters already ready for release."

"The premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" will be held on the 29th at the CPPCC Auditorium."

At the same time, news also came from Hunter that several projects of Summit Entertainment have completed post-production.

《忌日快乐2》定档明年2月13日，《饥饿游戏》定档3月23日，《鲨滩》定档6月24日，《寂静之地》定档4月18日。

"What do you think about the schedule for the second half of the year?"

In recent years, as the focus of his career has shifted to China, Wei Jin has rarely asked about the specific operating conditions of Summit Entertainment, but he was still a little surprised that four movies were all placed in the first half of the year.

"Boss, we plan to start "Rescue 3". The actors' schedules have been coordinated. Filming can start in February. All post-production work is expected to be completed before August, and the schedule will be in November or December."

After listening to Hunter's explanation, Wei Jin nodded. The "Hurricane Rescue" series has been suspended for two or three years, and it is time to start it.

After chatting for a few more words, Wei Jin hung up the phone and paid attention to the information on the Internet.

With the influx of hot money, the film industry is becoming more and more prosperous.

Before, the industry was still laughing at whether people or dogs would become directors, but now that people have really secured investment, everyone can no longer laugh.

Guo Xiaosi publicly addressed the film industry on Weibo:
"I have found an investment of 3 million, and I will concentrate on my creation and adapt the "Tiny Times" series into movie scripts. It is expected that the movie series will be available to fans and audiences within three to five years."

As soon as the news came out, his fans started mindlessly praising him all over the Internet, just like during the New Year.

It's as if Guo Xiaosi was able to surpass the fifth generation of directors, dominate the sixth generation of directors and become an international director as soon as he entered the film industry.

That's it, after all, it's not uncommon to have crazy fans, but what disgusted Wei Jin was that this guy actually started touching himself again.

"As a best-selling author born in the 80s, I admire Director Wei Jin very much. Whether it is box office or international awards, Director Wei Jin will be my goal to learn from and catch up with in my directing career."

Wei Jin thought about it, waiting for this guy's movie to be released, and leaving a few movies to teach him how to be a good person.

In the evening, Wei Jin returned to Liu Yifei. The little girl had finished her road show and had to fill her gap.

Mother-in-law Liu Xiaoli cooked Wei Jin's favorite Sichuan cuisine as usual, and her smile never stopped during dinner.

"Searching for the Dragon" is about to hit the billion dollar mark. As the leading female lead, Liu Yifei's support is too great. Liu Xiaoli has been busy receiving announcements these days. The more she looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes her son-in-law. She is wondering when Meet the in-laws.

Wei Jin didn't know Liu Xiaoli's dangerous thoughts. After dinner, he and Liu Yifei went upstairs.

After the clouds and rain subsided, Wei Jin felt satisfied as he caressed the delicate body of the girl in his arms.

Liu Yifei is tall and has long legs, and she exercises a lot. Her figure is different from the ordinary paper beauties in the entertainment industry. She is thin where she should be thin, and has flesh where she should be. It gives Wei Jin an excellent experience.

"Dr. Cao?"

"Mr. Wei, are you free in the next few days?"

"What's wrong, Director Cao?"

Wei Jin played with Liu Yifei's small but erect breasts and asked curiously.

"It's like this. Weibo has changed the name of the Internet Festival. It will be called Weibo Night from now on. This name will be officially used for the Internet Festival next month. Also, I want to ask Mr. Wei if he has time to attend. ?”

Network Festival, the full name of Xinlang Network Festival, was founded in 2004.

It is a comprehensive honorary ceremony that counts and selects hot people and events of the year every year. It was formerly known as Xinlang Network's annual top ten news selection and Xinlang Network China's annual selection.

Although it was a wild ceremony, with the expansion and popularity of Weibo, it made sense to hold the event in the name of Weibo.

Regarding Cao Guowei's invitation, Wei Jin also understood what he meant. Weibo has a strong entertainment attribute, and it pursues maximum exposure. Only the guests present can reflect the influence of the event.

As a shareholder of Weibo, Wei Jin naturally supports this.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Is there anything I need to do then?"

"No need. Mr. Wei can just confirm the attendance list and the organizing committee can arrange awards for you."

Wei Jin understood as soon as he heard this. As the most popular commercial director in the industry, if he could go, the "Most Influential Director Award" would definitely be his.

Although the awards on Weibo Night were not very valuable, Wei Jin felt very happy to decide the awards directly over the phone.

Wei Jin had a headache just because of the attendance list. Who should the four women bring?

"Okay, I will confirm it in two days. See you then."

"Okay, see you then."

When Wei Jin hung up the phone, he saw the girl looking up at him. Wei Jin did not hide anything and told her the content of the call. Unexpectedly, the latter was not interested.

"Forget it, brother, I won't go. I have to promote "Twenty Again" during the Spring Festival this year, so I made an appointment with my mother to visit my grandma on New Year's Day. I will stay there for about ten days."

"Well, that's fine. Remember to bring some gifts for grandma for me when the time comes. Say hello."

Wei Jin nodded and said nothing, which solved his big trouble.

"Well, I will."

Looking at the girl's pretty face, Wei Jin hugged her on his belly and squeezed her round and plump buttocks with both hands.

"Yifei, you have to leave again in a few days. Let my brother love you well tonight, okay?"

Feeling the warmth of the man's palm, a blush appeared on Liu Yifei's face and she nodded gently.

"Well, brother, you love me."

Wei Jin immediately turned over and lifted up the girl's slender legs.

"Oh~~~"

With a soft chant, the room suddenly overflowed with spring light
