During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 397 Tian Xian reunites for a large-scale new film

Shanhe Building, Chairman's Office.

Wei Jin looked at the two scripts that the screenwriting department had come up with and felt a little curious.

"Why just these two?"

"Mr. Wei, we think these two are the most worthy of adaptation. After all, the script still needs conflict and drama."

Wei Jin was silent for a while. The majority of people in the world are ordinary, and the lives of most people are not exciting enough.

The same goes for the families who have lost their children. Most of these stories are ordinary, and most people have heard of similar stories, so they are really not worth adapting.

"Have you reached an agreement with the family members?"

"Well, Mr. Wei, you don't know how excited these family members were when they heard the news that we were going to reorganize the family. Mr. Wei, don't tell me, several female colleagues cried so hard this time. Those damn human traffickers, even a grown man like me couldn't stand it."

A 1.80-foot-tall man from the screenwriter department talked about his experience incessantly, and Wei Jin was also moved.

It’s pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. If Dudu was kidnapped one day, Wei Jin didn’t know whether he would travel thousands of miles to find his son like the protagonist in the story, but he was sure that Zeng Li would definitely collapse.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work."

After sending away the people from the screenwriting department, Wei Jin took the two scripts in his hands, wondering who to give them to direct.

To be honest, the filming of "Lost and Love" and "Dear" is not difficult and does not require any specific director to complete.

Just considering the need to have an impact, it is best to find famous directors and actors.

After thinking for a while, Wei Jin had a preliminary candidate in mind, and then picked up the phone and dialed.

After a conversation, the other party was very interested and the two made an appointment to meet.

After one matter was settled, Wei Jin thought about what happened at the celebration banquet.

Wei Jin hasn’t made up his mind about the invitation to the Shanghai Film Festival.

Although this is a great honor, to be honest, Wei Jin doesn't think much of the Shanghai Film Festival.

The reason is simple: the influence is too low!
The participants every year are all unknown overseas works, and the film festival officials always give the prize to foreigners every year. Even if those films are the same as the thesis, they still enjoy doing it, as if this can increase the influence of the film festival.

Little do they know that the more this happens, the lower the influence.

It is not difficult to guess what the organizing committee is planning this time. They simply hope to improve the quality of the participating films through Wei Jin's influence and his connections around the world.

Wei Jin was not optimistic about this and was somewhat hesitant.

"Forget it, don't think about it, just relax for a while"

Wei Jin took out his cell phone and started checking the news online.

Wow, this guy Yangzi is bragging again.

As a director, Wei Jin also used film when he first started out, but later gradually adapted to digital cameras.

But the news of the bankruptcy of Kodak, the world's largest film manufacturer, has been making rounds these days, and Wei Jin naturally knew about it.

I heard that many directors in the circle, such as Feng Dapao and Chen Shishi, are hoarding films.

But Wei Jin did not expect that Yangzi would actually express on Weibo that he wanted to buy Kodak's remaining eight years of Oscar naming rights.

He also shamelessly stated that he would lead domestic films into Hollywood and make contributions to Chinese-language films.
As expected, there was booing and ridicule online and within the circle.

Just as I was lamenting that people in Yangtze River Basin dislike the smell of dogs, my assistant Huang Mengying knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss, Director Jiang has sent me a message, 'A Thousand Mountains and Twilight Snow' is going to start filming in the middle of next month, and Tangren hopes you can attend the launch conference."

Wei Jin nodded. This time, with Jiang Xueman watching over him, the efficiency of the sugar man was a little faster than he had imagined.

"Don't reply to them, just say that you can't decide for the time being."

"The Witch" is about to start filming. If the time is right, Wei Jin plans to finish it in one trip, but if it is not suitable, he can only say sorry to Miss Cai.

"Okay, boss"

Wei Jin was supporting his head, thinking about a new project. After a while, Huang Mengying knocked on the door again.

"Mengying, is there anything else?"

Huang Mengying bit her red lips lightly, her eyes showing some resentment.

"Boss, it's been almost a month."

Wei Jin suddenly realized that he had been busy with company business since the beginning of the year and had been accompanying several wives in the evening. The young assistant wanted to eat meat.

Wei Jin then reached out and pulled the woman over, holding her on his thighs, and rubbing his hands on her seductive black stockings.

"Mengying, you are just too honest. Sometimes you have to take the initiative, okay?"

Huang Mengying blushed slightly when she heard that. She then unbuttoned her chest and pulled the man's big hand up.

"Hmm~"

Feeling the warm snow, Wei Jin moved his fingers flexibly, and the front-clasp cup fell apart instantly, leaving one side slippery to the touch.

"Um~~~Boss~~~"

Seeing that his assistant couldn't stand the teasing, Wei Jin didn't hesitate any longer. He put him down and stood up.

Huang Mengying was overjoyed. After being single for more than a month, she finally had time to recharge her batteries. She squatted down on her own initiative, undressed her boss, and started eating the meat in big mouthfuls.

"Well, very good."

Gently pressing the back of the assistant's head, Wei Jin moved slowly, and after a few minutes, he felt the time was right, so he patted the woman's face.

Huang Mengying, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up quickly and pulled up the hem of her skirt after receiving the signal.

"Hehe Mengying, you are quite well prepared, bang!"

Looking at the woman's 7B black stockings and T-back, Wei Jin reached out and patted them, then teased with a smile.

"Boss, stop making trouble~~~"

"Okay, I'll feed you well."

As the man got closer, Huang Mengying felt extremely fulfilled and couldn't help but let out a sound of joy.

“Oh~~~~”

On Valentine's Day, Wei Jin, Jing Tian and Liu Yifei dressed up in disguise and came to the Happy Twist Theater to watch a live performance.

It has to be said that drama is at the top of the contempt chain in the film and television circles, and this makes sense.

When standing on the stage, the actors have no filters to make them look beautiful, no NGs to retake, and no stand-in special effects. They are face to face with the audience throughout the entire process.

It’s like shooting a movie with all the scenes done in one take.

This is a great test for an actor's professional qualities and overall strength.

Although the Happy Twist team is a comedy, their acting skills are really strong, which is why they all became powerful actors when they turned to the big screen. After a performance, Liu Yifei set a goal for herself. She decided to wait until the press release was finished, and then spend more time on stage to practice.

Wei Jin certainly agreed with this very much.

To be honest, Jing Tian and Liu Yifei are not talented actors, they can only make up for their shortcomings with hard work.

Relatively speaking, Jing Tian is okay. Although his abilities are a little lacking, he listens to advice, has aspirations, and can basically restrain himself.

Liu Yifei is too Buddhist. When there is no press release, she sleeps until she wakes up naturally. When she has free time, she sings karaoke with friends. The rest of the time, she either plays with cats or reads books. She doesn't care too much about her career.

Now that she has someone to pursue, that's great.

In the evening, Wei Jin took the two of them to eat their favorite spicy hot pot, and then went straight to Xishan Villa, which was the love nest he specially prepared for Valentine's Day.

On the big white bed, Wei, Jing and Liu were working together to shuffle the cards.

Wei Jin was lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread, playing a verbal battle game with Liu Yifei.

Under Wei Jin was Jing Tian, ​​who was doing the field work and adjusting the camera position.

After a brief encounter, Wei Jin realized that the two beauties were ready to play their cards, and he extended an invitation.

"Tiantian, Yifei, who will play first tonight?"

Jing Tian and Liu Yifei looked at each other and actually started playing the game of rock-paper-scissors.

In the end, Jing Tian was luckier and got the right to start.

"Yifei, I'll play first then."

The little girl sat down at the card table happily, narrowed her beautiful eyes, bit her red lips lightly and started playing cards.

"I'll let you go first. You won't be able to fight for long anyway."

Faced with Liu Yifei's questioning, Jing Tian was unable to refute. In fact, she was almost speechless at this moment.

Wei Jin played the cards quickly and accurately, as if he had a complete grasp of the cards in Jing Tian's hand. Every time he played a card, he hit her soft spot, and she was completely unable to resist.

What’s more important is that Wei Jin still has some strength left, and his hands are not idle, roaming freely on the two perfect bodies.

He had to admit that the physical and psychological pleasure brought by playing with the two beauties separately and traveling with three people was completely different.

Soon, Jing Tian lost a point under Wei Jin's powerful offensive and was replaced by new player Liu Yifei.

"Yifei, you just mentioned Tiantian, your skills don't have any advantages."

Wei Jin was playing cards, joking, and massaging Jing Tian at the same time. It was extremely easy for him to do three things at once.

After all, compared to playing five-person mahjong with several assistants, dealing with two rookies, Jing Tian and Liu Yifei, was indeed too easy.

Perhaps, if the four queens come together, the game will be more tense. After all, the two mature sisters are much more powerful.

However, Wei Jin himself didn’t know when he would be able to get his wish of the ultimate perfect mahjong competition.

Without giving it any more thought, Wei Jin seized the moment and concentrated on taking care of Liu Yifei. In a short while, he had defeated the little girl.

Then Wei Jin turned over and fought again. After all, Jing Tian had already rested for half an hour.

For a while, joyful singing could be heard throughout the house.

After half a year, Wei Jin once again experienced the joy of the combination of the fairy, the rich and the beautiful
Halfway through February, the smoke of the Spring Festival movie season has gradually subsided in the film market.

24 days after its release, the box office of "6 Again" exceeded million, but the daily box office was less than million, and its potential had been exhausted.

However, the Hollywood blockbuster "Mission: Impossible 4", which was released after the Spring Festival, performed quite well. The box office was close to million yuan in two days, which was even more impressive than the first week box office of "Infernal Affairs".

"Mission Impossible 4" has been released for more than two weeks and the box office is approaching the 2 million mark.

If it weren’t for “20 Again” taking the lead, the entire February would probably have been dominated by Tom Cruise from across the ocean.

In comparison, the performance of other domestic films is extremely poor.

Produced by LeTV and supervised by Zhang Zhao and Huang Baiming, "Eight Stars Embracing Happiness" finally grossed 6600 million yuan at the box office.

Released at the same time as "Back to 20", directed by Zhu Yanpin and starring Taiwan's popular actor Zhou Yuming, "New Born to Be a Couple" did not even finish its theatrical period before it became cannon fodder, with the total box office revenue of less than 30 million.

The movie that Jing Tian and Wei Jin watched together, "Crazy Dinner" starring Huang Bo, had a good reputation, but the producer's promotion was very poor.

Even though Wei Jin helped recommend it on Weibo, the final box office revenue was only over 4600 million.

Compared with the production cost of over 2000 million, this film is undoubtedly a loss-making one.

However, it is said that the investor of this film has coal boss ancestry, so I guess he would not take such a small amount of money seriously.

The other movies to be released in March have already entered the promotion stage, and "Ex Machina" and "A Simple Life" are no exception.

Although both films were made on a shoestring budget, they still have what it takes.

The former focuses on the gimmick of science fiction and horror, while the latter focuses on the selling point of Venice and Golden Horse Awards, which has also attracted considerable attention.

After careful consideration, Wei Jin called Ren Zhonglun back and politely declined the invitation to the film festival.

He thought about this matter very clearly.

The predicament of the film festival did not arise overnight, and the reputation of the film festival could not be put up in a day or two.

Unless Wei Jin serves as the chairman of the film festival for a long time, he will not be able to change the current situation of the Magic City Film Festival.

But is this possible?
Without a doubt, it is absolutely impossible!

You know, as an international A-class film festival, the Shanghai Film Festival has higher standards than the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festivals.

The organizing units are composed of the General Administration, China National Radio and the local government of Shanghai. There are too many twists and turns and conflicts of interest involved.

Not to mention whether the chairman of the film festival can be held by one person for a long time, the resistance alone is imaginable.

Wei Jin was not willing to waste time fighting for power and engaging in intrigue with these people.

As for the idea in his mind, Wei Jin planned to start from scratch and build a new system in the country first.

It's just that the time is not yet ripe. After all, the long-term influence of the Golden Horse, Golden Image and Golden Rooster awards is still there. It would be difficult to get people to call for a new film award if we rashly create one.

But Wei Jin believes that as the directors contracted by Shanhe Media receive more and more honors, as his influence on the international scale grows, and as the three Chinese-language awards become more and more self-destructive, this thing can always be accomplished!

And this year's Ning Hao's nomination for the Berlin Film Festival is the first step!
"Now, it depends on your luck."

For Ning Hao's bid for the award this time, the company naturally arranged a relevant team to do public relations, but whether he can win the award ultimately depends on the strength and luck of his competitors.

Wei Jin collected his thoughts and began to prepare for his new project.

This time, he decided not to touch science fiction films for the time being, and to make a feature film to change his mind.

The script has been selected, but some adjustments and modifications need to be made to the details.

Since Han Sanping had said before that the script review this year would be easier, Wei Jin would naturally test the bottom line and come up with a big scale.
