During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 415 Unlocking a New Duo
In the chairman's office of Shanhe Building, Jiang Xueman, dressed in professional attire, was reporting on her work.

Wei Jin listened and nodded.

After four months of filming, "Longling Labyrinth" has been completed.

"Joy of Life" will be much slower, and it is expected that the filming will be completed around the end of June.

The company organized a screening for "Mind Game" last month, and it was jointly won by four TV stations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Anhui Province, Shanghai, and Tianjin.

Because the script of this drama was adjusted and a lot of emotional scenes were deleted, there are only 30 episodes in total. In addition, it is a workplace drama, so the price offered by the TV station is not high, 160 million per episode.

The first round of revenue was 4800 million, and including product placement, etc., profits have already been realized. Next, it depends on the response after the broadcast, and the big money will be made from the second and third rounds and online copyrights.

In addition, the first round of broadcast of "Hello, Old Times" ended two days ago, with a peak viewership rating of 2.68%, an average viewership rating of 2.13%, and a market share of 11.76%.

Although it still has some gap compared with other popular products, it is undeniable that it is definitely a masterpiece.

Therefore, the second and third rounds of broadcasting rights also attracted the interest of many TV stations. After a day of negotiation, seven TV stations offered a total of 7 million per episode.

The online copyright had already been sold to Tudou for 80 per episode.

All in all, this low-budget campus drama with a total of 30 episodes and an investment of only 1.41 million yuan has achieved a cumulative revenue of 1 million yuan, plus advertising placements, even after deducting the production and publicity costs, the net profit is at least over million yuan.

If we add in the revenues from the rising status of several actors, the profits would be incredible.

"Mr. Wei, preparations have already begun for The Best of Us and Here Comes Our Love, and filming is expected to begin in mid-to-late May."

Wei Jin nodded. Both of these plays were modern dramas and the production costs were not high, so the preparation work was indeed easy. He then began to give instructions.

"When the time comes, keep an eye on it and don't make shoddy products even if the cost is small."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei, we won't ruin our reputation."

"Well, that's it for now, you go and get busy."

"Okay, Mr. Wei."

No one expected that a movie released fifteen years ago would perform so violently.

In the domestic film market, "Titanic" can be said to be a movie that can kill anyone who stands in its way!
After one week of release, the film grossed 4.6 million yuan at the box office, accounting for nearly 8% of the domestic film market!

Among all the domestic films, only "Whiplash" is still holding up.

The movie has been released for 10 days and has grossed 1.48 million yuan.

It is worth mentioning that because the majority of the moviegoers are students, the box office can still exceed 2000 million on weekends, but on weekdays it can only barely maintain around million.

People in the circle are joking that this time an art film actually took the lead.

As for Guo Fan's "Ex Machina", after the box office reached 8000 million, it was less than 10 per day, so it was directly withdrawn from theaters.

Despite the early withdrawal of the film, Guo Fan still became famous overnight, with nothing but praise in the media, as if he had become a rising commercial film director.

At the same time, news came from Chen Xi that "Lost in Thailand" was completed!

Beijing, Dynasty Hotel.

The crew of "Lost in Thailand" and the actors of "Ex Machina" looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a long while, Huang Bai finally managed to say something.

"Old Wei, aren't you taking things too easy?"

That’s right, Wei Jin held the wrap party for Lost in Thailand and the celebration party for Ex Machina together.

"Hey, Lao Huang, I didn't even attend the celebration party for "A Simple Life""

The movie "A Simple Life" has been released a long time ago. The box office in mainland China was reported to be 8440 million. The box office in Hong Kong was also very good, with a cumulative total of 2620 million. If Taiwan and Tai O are included, the cumulative box office is equivalent to 1.2 million RMB.

This film cost 680 million to invest, the copyright transaction was 4800 million US dollars, and the box office share was as high as 4500 million. Even after deducting the publicity costs, the net profit is more than 150 million, with a profit of more than %.

Logically, they should have celebrated, but because the crew were all in Hong Kong, Wei Jin simply let them do it themselves.

Of course, there were also a lot of red envelopes. Wei Jin took out three million as a reward for the crew.

"Okay, everyone, please take a seat. You've all been working hard during this period."

Wei Jin greeted everyone and everyone took their seats.

The entertainment industry has a strict hierarchy, so naturally, the main table is reserved for several directors, producers and main guests.

Wan Qian and Zhang Tianai were very tactful and sat on Wei Jin's left and right.

"Tian Ai, has the filming of "Sad Fairy Tale" been completed?"

"Yeah, it was just finished two days ago."

Zhang Tianai, with a slightly aggressive look, smiled sweetly, with a hint of spring between her eyebrows.

Wei Jin nodded and said no more. The cost of this film was only three million, and it was normal to be completed in more than a month.

"Okay, everyone, don't just stand there, let's get started."

The people at the seven or eight tables were not polite and started eating.

During the meal, since Wei Jin didn't drink, he had more time to chat with everyone.

"Lao Wei, the premiere of Killing is scheduled for the 25th, you have to come."

Huang Bo raised his glass and invited, "I am so unlucky to have to face such a schedule. It's hard. I'm afraid you won't see me in the next month."

When Huang Bo said this, many people at the scene laughed. This movie is scheduled to be released on the 28th, which can be said to be a situation with wolves in front and tigers behind, which is really tragic.

"Okay, I'll come and join you when I have time."

Wei Jin nodded politely, then looked at Huang Bai and thought of something.

"By the way, Lao Huang, do you have a schedule later?"

"Ok?"

Huang Bai was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, yes, yes, of course, Lao Wei, you finally remembered your brother."

"Stop talking nonsense to me. Don't you have enough acting offers? Someone will contact you when you finish this job."

Wei Jin didn't want to say more at the dinner table, so he stopped there.

"Okay, I'll wait patiently, haha."

Huang Bai looked so smug that everyone at the table wanted to throw the plates on his head.

"Boss Wei, I plan to stay at Shanhe Shuimo until the later stages are completed."

Guangtou Xu picked up the wine glass with a little excitement, and spoke after he drank it.

He felt that it was a very enjoyable filming of this movie, and with the first one as a foundation, this time the box office will definitely be better.

He had a hunch that this play would become one of the masterpieces of his directorial career.

"Well, you can come over anytime, don't worry."

"Okay, I understand."

Xu Guangtou answered very seriously. As it concerns his future, he will strive for perfection. "Keep it strong."

"Mr. Wei?"

"Lu Yang plans to start filming in a week, but your part can be later. It's up to you to decide."

"No, no, a week is enough. I will join the crew as soon as the filming starts."

Wang Baoqiang was obviously very excited. He had two consecutive movies based on Wei and Jin scripts. There were only a handful of people in the industry who could enjoy such treatment.

What’s more important is that they were all personally selected by Wei Jin, which is absolutely unique among male actors and represents a high degree of recognition for him!
"Don't worry, Mr. Wei. I will definitely act well. I like action movies very much."

"Bao Qiang, you should have read the script. Feng Yuxiu is a martial arts fanatic. Think about it carefully. I need you to show the crazy state of Mr. Tree. Perhaps this film will become another masterpiece of yours."

Seeing that Wei Jin was speaking seriously, the smile on Wang Baoqiang's face gradually faded and became solemn.

The rest of the people at the table were also very curious about what kind of script could become a masterpiece.

"I understand, President Wei, I will do my best."

Seeing this, Wei Jin nodded, he believed in Wang Baoqiang's acting skills.

"Well, you can discuss the details with Lu Yang and see if he has any other requirements."

Then Wei Jin looked at Ning Hao again, and the latter immediately shook his head.

"Junior brother, I will be busy promoting "The Heist" next. I will consider the new film after the movie is released. But I have already understood the script thoroughly, so you don't have to worry."

Hearing this, many actors at the scene pricked up their ears, because the news about Ning Hao's new film was kept secret quite closely.

Wei Jin smiled softly, knowing that Ning Hao had misunderstood, and immediately began to explain.

"Brother, I want to say that now that the policy has been relaxed, you should take some time to look into the affairs of No Man's Land and settle down as soon as possible."

According to Director Tong, the current censorship standards have been relaxed a lot. Although "No Man's Land" has been edited a long time ago, it has never been given the green light. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity, when will we wait?
"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Next, before Wei Jin could speak, Guo Fan began to express his opinion.

"Boss Wei, I need to calm down for a while. I will be defending my graduation thesis soon. Let's talk about it in the second half of the year."

"What are you thinking, kid? Am I that exploitative?"

"You have."

Wei Jin looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Chen Xi.

"Boss Wei, I've been running for several months. I need to rest. My skin has become worse."

Looking at Chen Xi, whose skin was slightly rough and half a shade darker, Wei Jin couldn't help laughing. The oppression she had endured in the past few months was really severe.

First, he went to Seattle to complete the preliminary work and even spent the Spring Festival there; when the crew got on track, he went to the crew of "Lost in Thailand"; it has just finished and he is about to join the crew of "Big Shot". He can be said to be a worker chosen by God.

“Is a week enough?”

Wei Jin is not in a hurry for the play "Big Shot", and the scene is not large, so it is easy to prepare. He expects to start filming in early May.

"That's enough, hehe."

Chen Xi smiled immediately when she heard this. Women are indeed born actors.

Since it is a celebration banquet, red envelopes are naturally indispensable.

"Ex Machina" was invested with 3200 million yuan, and the box office share alone was as high as 2000 million yuan. Taking into account miscellaneous advertising bonuses and deducting the publicity and promotion costs, the net profit was more than million yuan.

Wei Jin didn't even discuss it with Lao Wang and directly took out one million as a reward for the crew.

As for the crew of "Lost in Thailand", Wei Jin also prepared red envelopes for the wrap-up early on, with one thousand yuan for each person, as a small reward for everyone and a good start.

It is worth mentioning that Han Jianuo served in two crews, so she received two red envelopes and was very happy.

After receiving the red envelopes, the atmosphere became even more cheerful and everyone started toasting frequently.

Han Jianu walked up to Wei Jin with a glass of wine in hand and said, "Brother, it's almost mid-April. Look, I have an exam..."

Seeing Han Jianu, who was excited just now but now became shy, Wei Jin wanted to tease her and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

"Well, Lao Jiang is a bit rigid, he doesn't agree."

"What? Senior, you promised me that I didn't attend any classes this semester. I will definitely fail the exam. Why are you like this?"

Han Jianu's aggrieved look made it hard for Wei Jin to imagine that she was Han Sanping's daughter. However, this resentful look was exactly the same as the one Old Han had when he didn't get his share of the investment.

"Just kidding, haha"

In Golden House No. 6, a three-person card game is about to begin.

Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, the three of them became naked while playing.

Zhang Tianai's performance was pretty good. After all, she had tried four-person mahjong before. She was not at all afraid of playing with three people and even took the initiative to take on the task of shuffling the cards.

Wan Qian seemed a little nervous, after all, this was different from playing a game with friends.

To be honest, she had a fierce ideological struggle about the threesome tonight. After all, it was really embarrassing to talk about it.

But when she thought about missing this night and not knowing when she would be able to taste happiness again, for some unknown reason, she followed him silently after the dinner.

Fortunately, she and Zhang Tianai had worked together on a movie after all, and they had a pretty good relationship, so she could barely convince herself to play together.

Sensing the woman's nervousness, Wei Jin focused his attention on her, his big hands constantly wandering over her hips and beautiful legs. There was nothing he could do about it, with Wan Qian's flat figure, only her legs and hips were more interesting.

"Hmm~"

Perhaps it was because she had not been nourished for too long, Wan Qian soon began to sing under Wei Jin's skilled technique.

At the same time, the shuffling of cards was almost complete, and Wei Jin felt it was time to start tonight's game.

"Tian Ai, lie down first"

As soon as Wei Jin finished speaking, Zhang Tianai understood how to play the card game tonight. He lay his upper body on the bed with his legs and half of his buttocks exposed on the edge of the bed.

Seeing this, Wei Jin took the opportunity to press Wan Qian, who was already somewhat unable to bear the teasing, onto Zhang Tianai, with his legs straddling the latter's slender waist and his beautiful buttocks slightly raised backwards.

"Oh my god, you're so big."

Feeling the size of Zhang Tianai, Wan Qian exclaimed, feeling a little ashamed that her pair of A's were indeed not very impressive.

"Sister Qian, what I have is nothing. You haven't seen Sister Liu Yan, that's what people envy."

When Wan Qian heard this, Liu Yan's domineering and unreasonable figure instantly appeared in her mind, and she felt even more ashamed of herself.

Then she thought of the familiar Bai Bin. Xue Zi’s breasts were also quite big, and Wan Qian actually had the idea of ​​whether she should get breast augmentation.

Just when Wan Qian was daydreaming, Wei Jin took the initiative to start today's card game.

"Oh~~~"

Zhang Tianai, who was lying at the bottom, looked at Wan Qian, who was a little shy just now but got into the mood in an instant. He swallowed and looked forward to the time when he would be at the table.

Wei Jin didn't let Zhang Tianai wait too long. He chose this way of playing cards in order to take care of them both at the same time.

This night, Wei Jin unlocked a new duo combination
